The £500,000 Fund to Leave will be delivered by Women's Aid groups in Glasgow, South Lanarkshire, Edinburgh, North Lanarkshire and Fife.
A pilot fund has been launched by the Scottish government to help support women escape an abusive relationship. Women across parts of Scotland will be able to receive up to £1,000 to pay for essentials - including rent and clothing - when leaving a relationship with an abusive partner.
'This is just one of the ways in which we can work towards a Scotland where women and girls live free from violence and abuse in their homes.' Grants will be available as part of the pilot until 31 March 2024.
