To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how much funding from the Victims Surcharge has been allocated to charities in the West Midlands in the last three years.
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how much funding from the Victims Surcharge has been allocated to charities in the West Midlands in the last three years.
The Ministry of Justice Victim and Witness budget funds a variety of support services, both at a national and local level, which offer practical, emotional and therapeutic support to help victims cope and move forward in the aftermath of crime. This includes funding to Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs), including West Midlands OPCC, and the Rape and Sexual Abuse Support Fund (RASASF), which funds local sexual violence support organisations.
The Victim Surcharge is not a standalone funding stream and instead provides a contribution to the overall Ministry of Justice Victim and Witness budget described above. Therefore, we are unable to say how much funding to the West Midlands area was specifically allocated from the Surcharge.

Revenue from the Victim Surcharge forms only one part of the Ministry of Justice’s Victim and Witness budget. This budget is used to fund support services that help victims to cope with and, as far as possible, recover from the effects of crime. The budget also funds services to help witnesses to give their best evidence in court. In 2018/19 the Victim and Witnesses budget was about £96m, of which £30.5m was revenue raised from the Victim Surcharge. Most of this money went to Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs) to commission/deliver local services for victims of crime. The rest of the budget is used to nationally commission support services, including the National Homicide Service, the Court Based Witness Service and support for victims of rape and sexual violence. It is not possible to identify which services receive funding directly from the Victim Surcharge revenue. However, the table below sets out the value of grants covering the Midlands in 2018/19.
