£35,000 annual grant withdrawn

be cancelled after six years. The withdrawal of the funds led to the redundancy of a worker for the Rosey Project, who support young women victims of rape and sexual abuse. Kerr claims Children in Need said the grants committee were concerned the project didn’t do enough for male victims. She said: “I am worried that women-only services are not being valued as much as they should be.” A spokesman for BBC Children In Need said: “This decision was in no way connected to the support of male victims, We award grants to charities regardless of gender.” Glasgow Rape Crisis are now calling on the public to donate.
