Extra funding to support domestic abuse victims across Lincolnshire

Improved facilities and support for victims of domestic abuse across Lincolnshire will be created following a successful bid for government funding.

South Holland District Council teamed up with six other local authorities in Lincolnshire to bid for funds from the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG).

The seven districts will receive a pot of £430,000 which will help increase the number of refuges in the district, and ensure that those who enter into refuge have access to appropriate support.

Coun Christine Lawton, portfolio holder for health and wellbeing, said: “We are determined to ensure there is a strong safety net for anyone facing the frightening threat of violence in their own home.”
