Question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the answer of 23 June 2026 to WPQ 9853, when frontline services will receive funding referenced in the document entitled Freedom from violence and abuse: a cross-government strategy to build a safer society for women and girls, published on 18 December 2025.

Answer

On 15 June 2026, the Home Office launched funding competitions for the VAWG Helplines Scheme, and VAWG Advocacy Support Fund which will strengthen support for victims, including specialist provision to address gaps in local services, and the Domestic Abuse and Stalking Perpetrator Intervention Fund, which includes for the first time ringfenced funding for interventions for children who use harm.

These competitions will deliver on the commitments we made in the VAWG Strategy. Further information can be found on ‘Find Government Grants’ - GOV.UK.
