A package to help NI charities and community groups avoid a funding 'cliff-edge' is being finalised, Levelling Up Secretary Michael Gove has said.
Many of the organisations which stand to lose EU funding help people with learning difficulties to gain workplace skillsThe UK government has said a financial package is being finalised to help Northern Ireland charities facing a funding crisis at the end of March.
The problem relates to the switchover from EU to UK funding and mainly applies to organisations which help people find employment.This money was 35% match-funded from Stormont, giving £54m in total.Speaking to MPs, Mr Gove said his ministerial colleague Dehenna Davison had "been working to ensure we deal with the cliff edge".Organisations who help people with disabilities to work warned as far back as 2019 there was a "lack of detail" about what would replace EU funding.
It warned then of "an absence of specific detail" about how the Shared Prosperity Fund would operate.Now we are at crisis point with less than five days to go - Edyth Dunlop from NIUSE
