'There’s no alternative in place. That will be a tragedy not just for our employees, but the thousands of people who rely on our support.”

Northern Ireland community groups who have “helped almost 12,000 people” are facing a funding “cliff edge” thanks to European money running out, it is claimed.

The group has invited Permanent Secretaries from relevant Northern Ireland departments to join a crunch meeting on Friday with representatives from Westminster’s Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities . Joanne Kinnear, Vice Chair ESF Peer Group and CEO Ashton Trust, said: “I believe there’s a moral obligation to help those who find it difficult entering employment, maybe because they have a disability or have fled conflict overseas. We work with people who have so much to offer, but who need some extra support.

“If the ESF Peer Group can’t provide these services, no one will. There’s no alternative in place. That will be a tragedy not just for our employees, but the thousands of people who rely on our support.”
