Youth leaders have warned the wider community will suffer if cuts to youth centres go ahead NorthWestYouth1
By Robbie MeredithYouth leaders have warned that "the wider community will suffer" if planned cuts to youth centres go ahead.
But EA guidance documents on the "assessment of need" in each council area in Northern Ireland indicates that many are set to get less funding than in 2022/23.Stephen Mallett, from North West Youth Services in Londonderry, said many youth centres in the city were facing cuts to their funding including one of the largest facilities, St Mary's Youth Club in the Creggan area.
"Staffing will suffer the brunt of the cuts and the team will be significantly reduced due to the reduction of the budget, which equates to almost a 24% cut. "North West Youth Services currently administers 76 staff across 10 voluntary youth programmes in the city," he added. "Youth centres have been acknowledged as safe spaces where young people can meet friends and make new friendships," the EA's assessment said.
