The Government has committed £7m of funding for organisations supporting victims and survivors of sexual abuse for the current financial year.

The majority of this money is provided directly to Police and Crime Commissioners to support local organisations.

Over half a million pounds was shared between national support organisations, including organisations like NAPAC, the National Association for People Abused in Childhood.
