It always surprises me where certain organisations get their funding from and in the cases of most, where they don't get funding. Take Belfast for example. The only Rape Crisis Centre in Northern Ireland receives no government funding and couldn't afford electricity last year. It is now being supported by students through lovely RAG pub crawls. But now they have electricity and people get to have fun on pub crawls, so it works for everyone. Still you would think government funding might help a little...
Reading today I found out that the Uitenhage Phapamani Rape Crisis Centre receives no funding, despite the fact that police utilise their services by recommending them to rape survivors. The centre is supported by Volkswagen. Hmm, I thought. Now that is interesting.
It is lovely when you read about people or massive international car companies caring and helping those who really need it.
