Organisations which help victims of child sexual abuse have been awarded £2 million by the Government due to a massive surge in their workload.
The Home Office and the Ministry of Justice said charities and other groups had seen an increase in demand because of the Government’s high-profile inquiry into the issue, prompted by allegations of a Westminster paedophile conspiracy.
Organisations will be able to apply for a share of the fund if they are assisting people directly affected by issues covered in the inquiry.
Further cash was also announced for other groups assisting victims of sex abuse, brining the total to £7 million.
