Dear Mr Mortimer
I refer to your
FOI request below regarding help and support provided to victims of
domestic abuse.
South Tyneside
Council does not fund (directly or indirectly) any help or support
groups for male victims of domestic abuse.
In the financial
year ended 31st March 2004 South Tyneside Council provided a grant
of £29,795.00 to South Tyneside Women's Aid towards the operational
costs of a creche at the Women's Refuge. In addition the Local Authority
manages the Supporting People initiative which provided £208,285.00
for the core costs of providing safe emergency accomodation for women
and children suffering domestic violence."
If you have any
further queries regarding this matter then please do not hesitate
to contact me as soon as possible.
