This month Rosa becomes the home of The Corston Independent Funders’ Coalition (CIFC), acting as host to the coalition’s secretariat.
“CIFC is an incredible coalition of funders which has maintained its focus on women and the criminal justice system for almost twenty years. We are looking forward to working more closely with CIFC to deliver our shared mission of supporting the women and girls’ sector to thrive.”
– Rebecca Gill, Rosa CEO
The Coalition was set up following the 2007 Corston Report, which called for the provision of holistic, gender and trauma informed community-based services to support women both involved in or at risk of involvement in the justice system. The coalition of 11 members and seven friends works with third sector organisations and statutory bodies to realise the Corston vision.
‘Rosa’s support for and knowledge of the wider women and girls’ sector is hugely beneficial for CIFC’s work and we’re very grateful to them for hosting us’
– Beth Crosland, CIFC, Coalition Development Manager
