Southwest Women’s Spark Project
Southwest Women’s Spark Project aims to prevent women with multiple disadvantages, being affected by violence and abuse; ultimately achieving a better-quality of life.
We were delighted to announce in November 2021 that we were successful in securing almost £900,000 in funding from the Tampon Tax Fund to deliver a large partnership project that aims to prevent women with multiple disadvantages being affected by domestic violence and abuse.
The project, known as the Southwest Women’s Spark Project, is being delivered across the counties of Devon, Cornwall and Dorset. It involves a unique partnership of 7 organisations including the Women’s Centre Cornwall, Exeter CoLab, the NSPCC, The Zone, Plymouth City Council, BCHA and the Eddystone Trust.
