South Yorks Women’s Aid rejects allegation of ‘plan to fire worker for campaign’
Trustees gravely concerned by Star’s incorrect reporting and vow to keep fighting for funding for vital Doncaster service

TRUSTEES at South Yorkshire Women’s Aid (Doncaster) have rejected allegations that they planned to fire a member of staff for campaigning against council cuts.

The charity expressed its grave concern that a campaign to save the job of Louise Harrison, who works for the centre, was “not reported correctly” by the Morning Star and that they had not been contacted for comment.

The centre has helped thousands of victims of domestic violence and has fought a desperate battle over the last year to keep its funding, which has been threatened by Tory budget cuts.
