States grants financial lifeline to Jersey Women’s Refuge

States grants financial lifeline to Jersey Women’s Refuge

It comes after the Health Department, which provides funds for the refuge, had agreed that the organisation would receive a £20,000 reduction this year in its grant followed by a further £30,000 cut in 2015.

But after a vote in the States on Tuesday the payment will return to its 2013 level of £209,000 per year.
