The grant would contribute towards delivering the organisation’s ‘Women’s Aid’ project. Total costs per year are for 50% of the salary of a Project Manager (£6,673), the cost of room and creche hire (£2,330), volunteer costs (£480) and administration and recruitment costs (£400). ‘The Women’s Aid’ project aims to raise awareness and provide support to Sudanese women living in Scotland affected by Female Genital Mutilation (FGM).

Sessions will take place both in Edinburgh and Glasgow. It is expected that 20 participants will take part in each course with a total of 100 women benefitting from the course each year
