Funding is available for the delivery of high-quality specialist sexual violence services to meet the specific needs of men and boys, and aim to respond to demand arising as a result of the pandemic. To be eligible for this funding, the organisation must currently provide support specifically tailored to meet the needs of male victims of rape and sexual abuse, including recent and non-recent child sexual abuse. Organisations must have a proven track record of effectively supporting male survivors, ideally over several years, and be able to evidence how funding will enable more male survivors to be supported.

Organisations already in receipt of a direct grant from the MoJ Rape and Sexual Abuse Support Fund should submit their application directly to the MoJ. Those who are not, and who would like to apply for money from the Male Rape Support Fund to support male victim-survivors in the Northumbria PCC area, should apply through the Northumbria PCC’s office by completing and returning the below application form to enquiries@northumbria-pcc.gov.uk by Tuesday 22nd June, 12pm.
