The purpose of this decision is to award grant funding to Eva Women’s Aid.
The grant will part-fund an ISVA post, which will provide a crucial, high quality support service to victims in the Redcar area.
Independent Sexual Violence Advocates (ISVA) are victim-focussed advocates. They work with victims of serious sexual crimes.
ISVAs enable victims to access services, which they need in the aftermath of abuse. They also help to support them through the criminal justice process.
