Hundreds of community sector workers have been put on redundancy notice thanks to a halt in Stormont funding.
Community groups have come together to warn that around 1,000 jobs are at risk as well as more than 18,000 ‘vulnerable people’ supported by the sector.
The Community Sector Peer Group, which represents 22 organisations from across Northern Ireland, is warning that the failure to fully replace European Social Fund (ESF) monies has put 1,000 jobs at risk. And they say that the group’s members have already placed 400 staff ‘on notice of redundancy’.
