£78,246 of funding was awarded to Migdal
Emunah through Greater Manchester’s additional funding bid to
the MoJ in 2022. This is the amount over 3 years and is for the
delivery of a Reducing Harm caused by sexual abuse workstream
across Greater Manchester. This requires working with a variety of
organisations within the sexual violence support sector.
Following initial scoping of this the requirement for additional
administrative support to enable delivery of this was identified.
It is felt this request is reasonable and will support GM
priorities around sexual violence to be delivered and
fulfilled.
The funding agreed is subject to a grant agreement and appropriate
oversight and monitoring is in place.
An outline of the project is below:
• Year one – to hear the voices from the various
communities in Greater Manchester and collate the themes/issues
which are most important to our communities. To report on these as
collective themes/issues and also highlight some of the individual
community challenges by the end of year one.
• Year two – to identify the top 3-5 issues across our
communities with some key actions and ideas for reducing harm in
these areas.
• Year three – to produce a full report of all the main
themes and issues across all communities, including specific issues
pertaining to individual communities, and suggested solutions for
reducing harm in each of these areas.
This is a one off funding contribution to support the initial
stages of the project.
