    Groups that support vulnerable girls and women in the Bradford district are to benefit from a cash boost.

    The Two Ridings Community Foundation has awarded cash grants between £3,000 and £10,000 to community groups working with victims of rape and sexual abuse.

    The cash has been allocated by the Tampon Tax Community Fund, through money generated from VAT on sanitary products.

    The Foundation has distributed more than £8 million to over 3,000 projects across the area since it began over 18 years ago.

    Projects that benefitted from the latest funding include the Bradford Rape Crisis and Sexual Abuse Survivors Service, Keighley Healthy Living Network and Skipton Extended Learning for All.
