The Minister for Civil Society Rob Wilson has announced the 70 organisations that will receive a share of £12m from the Tampon Tax Fund.

The £12m, which was announced by Chancellor of the Exchequer Philip Hammond during the Spring Budget earlier this month, has been designed to benefit charities that support women and girls, particularly those affected by violence and domestic abuse.

This funding brings the total of investment awarded from the Tampon Tax Fund to £15m in 2016 and 2017. The full list of charities to receive a share of the £12m can be found here.
