Comic Relief funding boost
2:15pm Tuesday 25th September 2007
Comments (0)A PROJECT helping youngsters in north and west Wiltshire who have witnessed domestic violence, has secured funding to continue its important work.
Kidzspace, run by Trowbridge-based charity Splitz, has been awarded more than £78,000 from Comic Relief to support the project for three years, and £5,000 from the Colonel William Llewellyn Palmer Educational Charity to support four youngsters in Bradford on Avon.
The project provides one-to-one and group support to teenagers aged between 13 and 16 to help them identify, come to terms with and overcome the effects of the violence and abuse they have witnessed.
The support programme is based on the Ontario model, a tried and tested method of working with young people that is being adopted in the UK.
To find out more about the project, contact Splitz on (01225) 777724.
