Well there's a surprise....while "breast ironing" is considered child abuse or assault, this so called charity is propagating the idea that young women and girls should be looking forward to mastectomies by preparing themselves with "binders". Why, what is the difference?

Following public interest regarding the proposed grant to Mermaids UK, The National Lottery Community Fund undertook a review of a number of concerns expressed in relation to the charity.

This review did not find any grounds to withhold funding from Mermaids UK. The grant has therefore been approved by the England Funding Committee.

As part of our grant management process, we will work closely with Mermaids UK to ensure they are supported in their development.
