Anti-Abortion Charity To Get Grant From ‘Tampon Tax’<\/b>

An anti-abortion group will get \u00a3250,000 from the levy on women<\/a>\u2019s sanitary products – but will not be able to spend the proceeds on its counselling or education services.<\/p>\n

Dozens of organisations were announced as beneficiaries of a \u00a312 million pot generated from the 5% VAT on tampons and towels, also known as the tampon tax.<\/p>\n

Among them was Life, a charity set up in 1970 which aims to \u201ccreate a just society which has the utmost respect for all human life from fertilisation\u201d and has a vision of making \u201cabortion a thing of the past\u201d.<\/p>\n

The decision was met with criticism in April, with Walthamstow MP Stella Creasy tweeting: \u201cThis fund was supposed to help women<\/a> not encourage those organisations who want to control them-completely unacceptable and must be stopped.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Department for Culture, Media and Sport has said the grant was for a specific project in London.<\/p>\n

A spokeswoman said: \u201cAs set out in the grant agreement, Life will not be able to use the Tampon Tax grant to fund its counselling service, or its \u2018Life Matters Education Service\u2019 and is prohibited from spending the money on an publicity or promotion.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe grant is for a specific project in west London to support vulnerable, homeless or at risk pregnant women<\/a> who ask for their help.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll payments will be made in arrears and on receipt of a detailed monitoring report.\u201d<\/p>\n
