Supported by actors such as Emma Watson, Keira Knightley, Emma Thompson, Gugu Mbatha-Raw and Jodie Whittaker, The Justice and Equality Fund has awarded £1,027,699 to seven women’s organisations in England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales.
The fund set up by British celebrities as a result of the Time’s Up and #MeToo movements has awarded more than £1 million to women’s groups across the UK.
Watson, who made a £1m donation to the fund earlier this year, thanked everyone who had donated and said: “This year is just the beginning.”
Welsh Women’s Aid has been awarded £88,484 to provide training that will increase the knowledge and skill of women’s support services across Wales.
