She has cut the budget by 70% - from £3.6 to £1.1 million. Amongst the impacts will be cuts to the core budgets of 26 community relations organisations - including ourselves, Spirit of Enniskillen and Corrymeela. For us, this cut puts our work in north Belfast and other areas at risk. The DE funding has allowed us to lever in four times the amount from IFI - but if we can't replace the funding cut, this too could be at risk. As you know we are working with young people who fall into the 'hard to reach' category in your constituency. Is there anything you can do to help?
