Latest members' update Zoom meeting this morning. Discussion took place on latest tranche of local funding specifications & implications of the future funding on offer.
At its peak, 79 organisations & projects were present online.
Anger from within our sector is palpable.

It was great to see young people, youth workers and community reps from across the country coming together against the cuts to the voluntary sector.
The impact of no detached work in West Belfast will be catastrophic for our young people and community.

The proposed cuts to youth services, if forced through would have a savage impact upon youth provision and jobs. The work carried out through these youth services is absolutely vital and provides support for some of this city’s most vulnerable young people. No cuts!

Youth work is an essential lifeline to so many young people. We have seen this first hand through our engagement with young people across north and west Belfast and seen the impact youth work is having on them.

A Successful protest at EA buildings. Our voices were heard, young people met with Una Turbitt and Michael Hogg from the EA, we gave them our petition signatures and letters from parents/carers and young people! Stay tuned for more updates! #WeMatterToo #UNCRCArticle23 #Section75

We told our young people about the lack of support or recognition in our area for disability and they were angry, frustrated and wanted to help! Let’s tell the Education Authority it’s time to fund Disability properly! We matter too! #disabilitymatters #youthwork

Our team up in the Colin area this evening supporting Saints YC and visiting Lagmore Youth Project's Christmas market. We had great fun this evening at the market. Even bumped into Mr Danny Baker this evening who's fighting against the cuts from EA! #detachedyouthworkworks

@eayouthservice do you care to explain why you have blocked the account of youth worker who delivers upon your assessment of need and action plans. @Education_NI is what you expect from the mechanism designed to implement you policy directive?
How rude ! Was just asking information from a public service in relation to the detrimental impact of their cuts on the young people from the Greater Lower Falls and the impact on the youth workers who will be unemployment 🤔 @Education_NI @educationgovuk @ImmacYc

How will the youth centres be able to facilitate these contact programmes with no staff or flexibility in the new grant scheme?

Last Friday the Education Authority released a range of specifications with huge cuts for youth work in West Belfast. A specification for detached work was not released meaning come the 1st of April street based work will be unsupported in West Belfast and we don't have a job.

Remembering our loved ones lost to suicide.. Here is a glimpse of the wall of hope!
Tomorrow at @DairyFarmSC the space will be open for anyone to come along and place pictures of friends and family members that are no longer with us.

So sad to hear of the recent young people who passed away.
Please reach out and talk to someone. There is help, and we are here to offer that help and support.

How good it was to walk past the Cross of Sacrifice in Belfast City Cemetery this afternoon and see it like this. Clearly your work is paying off @WBdetachedteam @PSNIBelfastW @belfastcc
