Your comments are welcome on NICVA's draft response to the consultation on the government's 'Draft Priorities and Budgets 2005-08' document.
NICVA has produced a draft response to this year’s Priorities and Budget document (the successor to the Programme for Government)There is particular concern over this year’s proposed three year budget, with some voluntary and community organisations already facing funding cuts due to the efficiency savings all departments are required to find.
NICVA's draft response (257Kb)
Earlier this week, NICVA requested an urgent meeting with the Secretary of State to reverse budget cuts before they do severe harm to services provided by voluntary and community groups. Early indications suggest the work they do for the Northern Ireland community could suffer to the tune of £30 million.
The final response is to be submitted by 7 December.
If you have any comments you would like to make on the draft please contact Frances McCandless
