Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, how much of the funding UK Community Foundation and Women’s Aid Federation of England were given from the 2017-2018 Tampon Tax Fund has been used for their own administration of those grants.

In the 2018-19 round of Tampon Tax Funding, UK Community Foundations were awarded £3.4 million from the Tampon Tax Fund to run an onward grants programme across the UK, of which £219,380 has been allocated to administration. The Women’s Aid Federation of England were awarded £1,509,850 for a project addressing domestic abuse, of which £609,040 was designated for onward grants. The cost of administering these grants has not been separated from the general costs of running their programme of activities.
