WRC have teamed up with the Women's Budget Group to research issues facing funding for the UK Women's Sector.

We are asking women's organisations (not-for-profit groups led by and for women) to fill in this survey about the financial sustainability and health of the women's sector across the UK. The data collected here will help us to produce a report on the state of funding for the sector, which will be come out later this year.

The MAC (Mother and Child) Project focuses on the rights of women and girls who are or have been in the care system and who are now pregnant or have children. The Project is a collaboration of two organisations – the Astraea Project and Central England Law Centre.

This is the fourth round of procurement and we are offering grants of up to £15,000 to support a range of activities aimed at assisting inactive/ unemployed people to move closer to the labour market.
