This covers England and Wales.

This information session is for organisations interested in applying for the upcoming Women's Diversion Fund. You should attend if you provide or want to provide community services for women in England or Wales. This is not the actual grant application process.

Following the announcement on 16 March of up to £31.6m investment over three years for women’s community services (see link in Supporting Information), the MOJ is intending to run a virtual Market Engagement session on Tuesday 21 April 2026 at 10:00 hrs - 11:30 hrs. This session will cover the upcoming grant competition for the new Women's Diversion Fund. See 'How to Apply’ for details of how to apply to attend the Market Engagement session.  This is not part of the selection process for the forthcoming Women’s Diversion Fund competition. This activity is solely a market engagement exercise designed to provide prospective applications with more information, and to help us shape and refine the requirements before the formal competition is launched.

Apply to attend the virtual Market Engagement session by 17 April 2026. Check the 'How to Apply' section for application details. This is not the actual grant application.
