The Ministry of Justice announced on 30 September 2026 that £4.4 million in government funding had been allocated to the Cambridgeshire Police and Crime Commissioner to support victims of all crime types over the next two years. The ministry said the money would help provide mentoring, counselling and other practical, emotional and therapeutic services, including for survivors of domestic abuse and sexual violence.
Victims Minister Alex Davies-Jones visited the PCC Victim and Witness Hub and Peterborough Women's Aid services that day and met survivors. According to the release, the Victim and Witness Hub was to receive more than £600,000, while more than £2.4 million of the funding was ring-fenced for domestic and sexual abuse support, including more than £180,000 for Peterborough Women's Aid. The ministry described the allocation as part of £550 million of investment in victims' services over three years. Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Police and Crime Commissioner Darryl Preston welcomed the visit and said the Hub supports victims whether or not they report a crime to police.
