Organisations in the Bradford district which support young people, who have been victims of sexual violence or exploitation, are being invited to apply for Home Office funding amounting to £1.2 million.

The new money, announced in the Home Office’s Ending Gang And Youth Violence Report', will be used to help support ‘young people’s advocates’, who will support victims of rape and sexual abuse, and work with vulnerable young people at risk of being targeted by gangs, as well as providing a link between existing services.
