Grants for voluntary and community groups to help domestic abuse survivors/victims

The full £50,000 will be awarded to one successful applicant. Half will be paid as soon as possible, and the other half in November 2015, after a review of what you've done.
You can apply on behalf of your organisation or, if you're working with another organisation, you can apply together.
