A Derry community group has vented their frustration after emerged that the funding would be cut to what they say is an important summer programme for children.
The Greater Shantallow Community Arts, which is based in the Skeoge Industrial Estate, said they were "shocked" to learn that the Education Authority had cut the Summer Jam Funding Programme.
Last year, the community arts group hosted over 600 children and an additional almost 100 youth volunteers in an amazing five-week programme of creative learning, social development and fun-filled skills development throughout last summer.
