Dear Mr Wiffen,
I am able to provide you
with the following information.
(A) Plymouth currently
has one perpetrator programme running in the City via 'AHIMSA'. The
programme can accommodate 16 male perpetrators (in two groups of 8)
over a 12 month programme. Probation also run the IDAP (Integrated
Domestic Abuse Programme.)
(B) Plymouth does not currently
run a perpetrator programme for females but a recent Neighbourhood
Renewal Fund bid has been received and is being considered to fund
a programme via Plymouth Women's Aid in conjunction with AHIMSA.
(C) At present no funding
is provided by Plymouth City Council but funding will be made available
in the event of a successful bid to the Neighbourhood Renewal Fund
"pot".
Best wishes.

Dear Mr Mortimer
Following your
request regarding the number of help and support groups funded directly
or indirectly by Plymouth's Crime & Disorder Reduction Partnership,
I can give you the following information -
(A) We currently
do not fund any organisations to provide support for male victims
of domestic violence.
(B) We currently
fund Plymouth Women's Aid to an amount of £110267 p.a.
Through a pending
bid to the Neighbourhood Renewal Fund, we are exploring doing more
work with male victims, and both male and female perpetrators of domestic
abuse but obviously this will be dependant upon a successful outcome
of our bid.
I hope this information
is of assistance to you. Should you require anything further, please
do not hesitate to contact me again.
Best wishes.
