This report investigates the funding landscape for support services for victims and survivors of Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG). VAWG support services provide a range of support to victims and survivors, including safety planning and advocacy, safe accommodation, support navigating statutory services and long term recovery support. These services are primarily delivered by specialist third sector VAWG organisations. Services are funded through a combination of different statutory and non-statutory sources, including central government, the Police and Crime Commissioner, local authorities and charitable trust and grant giving organisations.
The report makes eight recommendations to improve outcomes.
