We are pleased to share that Equalities Minister, Kaukab Stewart has announced a £2.4 million funding uplift for over 100 organisations supported by our Delivering Equally Safe fund.
The funding boost will bring the total Scottish Government investment in Delivering Equally Safe (DES) up to £21.6 million for 2025/26.
The announcement was made during Ms. Stewart’s visit to SAY Women, where she met with staff and learned about their invaluable work supporting young women who have experienced sexual abuse and violence and are either homeless or at risk of homelessness.
Ms Stewart said:
“Grassroots organisations across Scotland are at the heart of tackling violence against women and girls. Their work is fundamental to creating a country free from gender-based abuse. This funding boost will support these organisations, will help prevent abuse occurring and ensure that women and girls who have experienced violence can continue to access the support they deserve.”
The DES team would like to thank the staff at SAY Women for hosting the visit and sharing the impact that they make on the lives of young women.
