Said Cllr Burke: “The current COVID-19 pandemic is impacting everyone in our society but it is those who are vulnerable who are most at risk.

“The announcement by Finance Minister Conor Murphy of £10m for the Supporting People project, together with £3.8m from Communities Minister Deirdre Hargey is a welcome funding boost to help those most in need.

“The Supporting People project helps those with dealing complex and challenging issues and is involved in sterling work across the north.
