500,000 sounds a lot but don't be deceived, it's the first time that male centres in the UK have been able to claim any money at all, up until now they were ineligible. The UK Government on the same page tells you that they have donated since 2010 over 12 million to female centres.

How the hell were they ineligible?! So glad to hear that this has been ended and they are finally going to be receiving some funding. This is certainly a presidence setting moment which will encourage more funding and maybe open up the minds (and bank accounts) of private donors too.

WE DON'T HELP MEN.
