A BOURNEMOUTH-based charity which works with people who have suffered domestic violence abuse has received a two-year £20,000 grant from Lloyds TSB.

The money will go towards core costs at the charity and came from the Lloyds TBS Foundation.

Julie Johns, creative director of the Butterfly, said: “We are very happy to receive this grant, it is important for us to develop our sustainability and to create further funding opportunities through grant making trusts such as Lloyds TSB.”

This latest award follows a £10,000 windfall awarded to the charity from the Big Lottery’s Supporting Change and Impact Funding. This money will go towards restructuring the charity.
