Suffolk Violence against Women & Girls (United kingdom)

Deadline: 19-May-22

The Suffolk Community Foundation is pleased to announce an open call for the Violence Against Women and Girls Fund to reduce and prevent crime, improve collaboration between services and ensure perpetrators are brought to justice.

This fund has been provided by Suffolk County Council to further the ambitions set out in the Suffolk Violence against Women and Girls Strategy 2022 – 2025.

Focus Areas

Whilst the focus for these projects is women and girls, due to the gendered nature of the crimes, they would also like to include projects to support men and boys as well as those that are transgender, non-binary, and gender non-conforming.
