Another big casework win! 

Really pleased to have pushed for, and received confirmation from the Ministry of Justice (MoJ), that funding will continue to be provided through the MoJ Rape Support Fund to Leicester Rape Crisis through to 2028.

It is absolutely vital that victims of rape have safe spaces to be heard and supported with dignity, without fear of stigma or retaliation.

Safer Streets and Better Neighbourhoods

Making Leicester safer must be everyone’s top priority. We must ensure we get our fair share of police officers, work with the Police and Crime Commissioner, and promote anonymous tip lines to make our streets safer for everyone. We must also instil local pride in Leicester’s neighbourhoods by working with local resident associations and councillors to champion our area. These initiatives will tackle the issues that matter most to residents, and make Leicester a safer place to live, learn and work.
