(asked on 5th June 2019) - View Source
Question
To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, whether Government funding of Mermaids UK will be reviewed.
This question was answered on 4th October 2019
The Government Equalities Office has not provided direct funding to Mermaids. Mermaids were allocated funding through the LGBT Consortium on the Anti-homophobic, biphobic and transphobic bullying programme 2016-2019 and this funding ceased at the end of the programme in March 2019. A separate extension to this programme was retendered from January 2019 to March 2020 and Mermaids did not receive any funding through this process.
