Victims of domestic violence will be offered up to £500 to help them flee their abuser - under plans unveiled by the Home Office.
In a trial with Women's Aid, survivors will be given one-off payments of £250, rising to £500 if they have children, following the £300,000 announcement by the Home Secretary, Suella Braverman.
It comes after research by the organisation found that almost three quarters of women living with and having financial links with an abuser said the cost of living had either prevented them from leaving, or made it harder to leave.
