Rape: Victim Support Schemes
(asked on 17th March 2025) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what funding is available to the Male Rape Fund in (a) 2024-25 and (b) 2025-26.
This question was answered on 25th March 2025
The Rape and Sexual Abuse Support Fund (RASASF) was recommissioned in 2023. To streamline the funding schemes that specialist sexual abuse organisations needed to apply to, the Ministry of Justice amalgamated the Male Rape Support Services Fund into one RASASF.
£21 million is committed to the RASASF in each year: 2024-25 and 2025-26. Grant funded activities support all victims of rape and sexual abuse, including men and boys, to cope with their experiences and move forward with their lives.
