Violence against women and girls network meeting

Mapping funding into the UK women and girls’ sector, research findings

At the next VAWG meeting we will be discussing the findings from a new research report, which has mapped the UK Women and Girls sector, and its sources of income (sources of charitable and statutory funding have been researched). The Centre for Regional Economic and Social Research at Sheffield Hallam University has undertaken this work and Lorna Dowrick (Research Associate) will be presenting the findings of the research. This meeting will provide an opportunity to consider and debate the research findings. Members of the group will also have time to share information and to catch up.  We do hope you can join us for what promises to be an interesting and thought-provoking meeting. 

A note on the research: The need for this research project was identified at the ACF VAWG network. Three members of the network Rosa Fund, The National Lottery Community Fund & Esmee Fairbairn Foundation have come together to commission this research.
