Staff at a rape crisis centre say they have been dealt a fresh funding blow.
Managers at Leicester Rape Crisis say they have been told the centre only has funding for the next year.
The organisation was one of only a handful of voluntary groups to have escaped recent Leicester City Council budget cuts.
In a statement, Leicester City Council said the current funding runs until 2005, when discussions will take place for the next funding agreement.
Uncertain future
In January, staff at Leicester Rape Crisis feared the centre would have to close when Leicester City Council announced proposals to reduce funding to voluntary groups by �2m.
Workers lobbied the city council in protest of the plans and in February a reprieve was given.
