We are rejecting more referrals due to domestic violence and have had a drop in enquiries of 25% - surplus from this service helps sustain our other services) We havenâ??t asked for money to cover a possible substantial shortfall in overheads and key staffing that would create large problems for us. This is because the department for work and pensions who we have our largest contract with havenâ??t told us yet what they are doing with that contract. It could amount to over £30,000 over 6mnths. We detail this more in the next section.
