Thousands of pounds in ill-gotten cash is set to be seized from drug dealers and given to a women's charity.
Since the start of last year, Liverpool Crown Court has handed over monies taken from criminals to a charity of the month as part of Operation Payback. For April, this nominated good cause will be Blackburne House - a "women's organisation set up to support the education of women", including "the most vulnerable".
Based on Hope Street in Liverpool city centre, its range of activities include running a nursery, bistro and wellness centre. Chief executive Andrea Rushton said: "All our contributions enable us to deliver outstanding educational and economic opportunities for women from across the city, who view Blackburne House as a safe place to access learning and personal development.
