Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence Fund
The Police and Crime Commissioner for Dorset, David Sidwick, would like to invite local domestic abuse and sexual violence organisations to apply for funding to support more victims of crime following a funding announcement from the Ministry of Justice (MoJ).
In March 2022 the MoJ announced the investment of £147m of funding over a multi-year period, until the end of 2024/25, for victim services. This additional investment includes making additional funding available for DA & SV services.
Who can apply?

You must provide support services that have the purpose of helping victims of crime cope with the impacts of crime, and, as far as possible, recover from the harm they have experienced.
Applicants must deliver domestic abuse or sexual violence services as a key part of their operation to be eligible.
How much funding can you apply for?
There is no maximum limit to what can be applied for but requests deemed excessive, or lack clear evidence of cost, will be excluded from evaluation.
