'The impact these brutal cuts will have across Belfast will be devastating for our young people.'
Youth providers, young people and families came together this week to highlight the impacts on recent funding cuts which will affect their sector.
Centres in each council area of Northern Ireland are currently applying for funds from the Education Authority, which provides funding for such facilities. However, the EA has indicated that many youth centres are set to receive less funding for next year. "In response to these cuts, with a great understanding of the pending impact, youth organisations across the country have collaborated in hope that these cuts can be overturned."
"We will work to minimise the risk to these really important services against the backdrop of very significant financial challenges."
