A father and son have called cuts to ESF funding, which supports organisations like Mencap, "despicable" and said it would have a "dreadful impact" on vulnerable adults and families.
"He has been helped and supported by Mencap for 30 years, but in more recent years, the last ten or so, he has had more direct support from its employability scheme, this is what had been funded by the European Social Fund. "It is also a key part of him being an independent adult, Peter doesn’t want to be sitting around all day and is a very busy guy who loves art and music projects and loves being around people. He is definitely a people person and very good with customers.""I enjoy the experience of working and learning new skills, like how to use a till and I am proud of the achievements that I have had so far.
He continued: "For Mencap this is going to be dreadful and it has been known about for months and months and around 50 great members of staff could be made redundant because the government will not replace the funding that it said that it would. "The British government have behaved scandalously, Boris Johnson said that the ESF would be back-filled and the money would be there and now we discover it is a 50% cut.
