Violence Against Women and Girls Advocacy Support Fund Pre-Market Engagement Registration

The Home Office is running market engagement sessions for future funding opportunities. These will support victims of violence against women and girls. There are two funds being discussed. The VAWG Helplines Fund will support eleven national helplines. The VAWG Victim Advocacy Support Fund will support seven national advocacy services. These services provide one-to-one support for victims who cannot access local help. This is not a funding application yet. It is a chance to learn about future opportunities. The deadline to register for these sessions is 20 May 2026.

This is for organisations that might apply for future violence against women and girls funding. You should register if you run helplines or provide advocacy support services. This is not the actual funding application yet.

REPEAT NOTICE - The Home Office is seeking organisations to take part in market engagement ahead of future funding opportunities supporting victims and others affected by violence against women and girls (VAWG). The sessions will cover both a national VAWG Helplines Fund and a VAWG Victim Advocacy Support Fund. The VAWG Helplines Fund will support a suite of eleven national helplines providing free, confidential advice and support on VAWG related harms. The VAWG Victim Advocacy Support Fund will support delivery of seven national advocacy services that provide accessible, specialist one-to-one support for victims of violence against women and girls, for those who are least likely to be able to access support locally.

This is registration for market engagement sessions, not a funding application. You need to register to attend sessions about future funding opportunities.
