A £5,000 grant has been given by London Freemasons this week to help run a money education service for victims, mainly women, who are being forced to manage on meagre hand-outs from abusive partners and being pushed into debt.
The grant from the Freemasons grand lodge at Holborn is for the Crosslight Advice charity’s mentoring programme that adapts to a person’s particular needs.
“Those facing the trauma of abuse are especially vulnerable to debt,” Crosslight charity’s chief executive Bruce Connell points out. “The Freemasons’ welcome gift means we can ‘walk alongside’ more individuals who are in need.”
