In May, the Housing Secretary announced that the government was spending £76 million on supporting the most vulnerable in society during the Coronavirus pandemic.
The Ministry of Justice allocated £25 million to support local charities across England and Wales which support victims of domestic abuse and sexual violence, and £3 million to recruit more Independent Sexual Violence Advisers (ISVAs). To date, over £22 million of that has been distributed for over 500 charities in England and Wales, £19.5 million to Police and Crime Commissioners and £2.6 million via the Rape Support Fund. The remainder of the funds will be distributed in due course.
