This is the second year of this funding, set up to address the critical lack of investment in frontline organisations supporting women and girls who experience male violence.  

The fund originally began with money raised by Reclaim These Streets in the wake of the Sarah Everard case and exists to make the UK safer for all women and girls.

 It aims to achieve the following outcomes:

• Women and girls will be supported by organisations delivering frontline services to end male violence against women and girls, ensuring women and girls can be safe, healthy and equal.
• Women and girls’ organisations will be empowered and strengthened, meaning that they will be in a stronger position to survive, thrive and grow into the future.

Not-for-profit frontline women’s and/or girls’ organisations with an income of between £100,000 and £500,000 can apply for a one-year grant of up to £25,000, for the period of January 2025 to December 2025.

Priority will be given to organisations which are:

• Led by and for Black and minoritised women and girls.
• Led by and for women and girls with disabilities.
• Led by and for LGBTQ+ women and girls.
• Operating in the top 10% of the most disadvantaged areas in the UK – based on the Indices of Multiple Deprivation (IMD).
• Based in Scotland, Wales, or Northern Ireland.
