Changing Lives, a charity that aims to help people in challenging circumstances, has received £1.3 million in funding from The Home Office, which will go towards tackling violence against women and girls in the North East.
The money has been awarded as part of the What Works Funding government scheme and will help the organisation expand to cover even more areas of the UK, where Women and Children are suffering from abuse and neglect.
The charity focuses on women targeted for sexual exploitation, and it covers grooming online and tech abuse which is a growing issue with the rise of new technology.
