Rosa, the UK Fund for women and girls, and Smallwood Trust are delighted to have been given the largest single award from this year’s Tampon Tax Fund. The work of our two organisations over the past year has demonstrated just how great the need is in the women and girls’ sector for sustainable funding.
We are looking forward to working with our partners including Women’s Resource Centre, Imkaan, Women’s Equality Network Wales, Women’s Support Network Northern Ireland, Women’s Support Project Scotland to ensure this funding reaches organisations in all four nations.
We welcome the fact that this year more funding has been allocated to specialist women’s organisations. This is an important step in addressing the funding challenges that many women and girls’ organisations have faced, which were dramatically compounded by the Covid19 pandemic.
Rosa UK and Smallwood Trust are delighted to have received money from the Tampon Tax fund. We are looking forward to distributing this funding to where it is most needed, enabling women’s organisations across the UK to support women and girls to overcome the complex and long-lasting challenges brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic. We know women’s organisations are in desperate need of funding to enable them to do this vital work.
