Life Charity was one of 53 charities awarded Tampon Tax funding across England.
As set out in the grant agreement, Life will not be able to use the Tampon Tax grant to fund its counselling service, or its 'Life Matters Education Service' and is prohibited from spending the money on publicity or promotion. The grant is for a specific service in west London that aims to support vulnerable, homeless or at risk pregnant women (who have already decided to keep their babies) and mothers.
