Buttle UK Partnership

A grant of £470,000 was approved by your City Bridge Trust Committee in November 2013 to enable Buttle UK to establish a hardship fund – known as the Anchor Project – for 18 months, to help families re-build their lives following domestic violence, supporting them to resettle and live independently. The original proposal was for a three-year programme of work; however, as this was a new way of working for the Trust, funds were committed for 18 months initially to enable the referral network to become established and to gauge likely demand. This paper proposes that a grant of £634,000 be approved to continue the Project over a further 18 months, providing three years’ support in total.

A printed and circulated report is now submitted for your consideration and we commend its recommendations to you.
