The Scottish Government’s Victim Surcharge Fund has reopened to applications from organisations that directly support victims of crime and their families.
The Fund, drawn from additional financial levies imposed on all offenders who receive a court fine, will help victim support organisations to cover the costs of short-term and practical support such as repairing or replacing damaged items, providing replacement clothes for people escaping domestic abuse, or equipment that helps people impacted by crime to feel safe.
Organisations will be able to bid for a share of £940,000 in the Victim Surcharge Fund to provide direct practical help to victims.
The deadline for applications is Thursday 12 September 2024. Victim’s organisations interested in applying to the fund can request an application form by emailing VictimSurchargefund@gov.scot.
