A day of action has been called by community and voluntary groups over cuts to the sector.
The Forward South Partnership has been meeting with community groups from the area to discuess the impact that UK Government cuts will have on their sector as their staff are 'left in limbo' and organisations being forced to issue protective redundancy notices.
It has warned there are serious concerns regarding mental health and education provisions across Northern Ireland due to the cuts which will also reduce the level of community support that is available.
