The Minister for Rough Sleeping and Housing Eddie Hughes confirmed the £125million allocation for councils across England to provide support for victims and their children.

Staffordshire County Council was awarded £1.5million of the funding pot.

Cllr Victoria Wilson, cabinet member for communities at the county council, said:

> “The announcement on the funding is welcome and means that victims of domestic abuse and their families can access the specialist support they need.   
>  
> “This includes getting access to life-saving support such as therapy, advocacy and counselling, all in safe accommodation.   
>  
> “The funding will also give our local refuge providers some financial security for the coming year.”
