Kimmins welcomes reopening of COVID-19 Charities Fund

Sinn Féin MLA Liz Kimmins has welcomed the announcement of the reopening of the COVID-19 Charities Fund. 

Liz Kimmins said: 

“Many charities are struggling financially as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the restrictions that have had to be put in place has curtailed normal fundraising activities. 

“As a result, some charities have found themselves in difficult situations and have been unable to cover their costs. 

“This too has had a knock-on impact on the many people helped by these charities. 

“I welcome today’s announcement from Communities Minister Carál Ní Chuilín that the COVID-19 Charities Fund will reopen from August 3rd and will provide financial support to charities who are unable to cover their costs up until September 30th. 

“It will provide up to £75,000 for eligible organisations and will allow them to continue their work. 

“Charities provide a lifeline to so many in our society and this funding today will provide them with help to continue to support those most in need.”

The parties that caused the housing crisis can’t be trusted to solve it.

Sinn Féin will tackle the housing crisis head-on.

It has to be done. And it can be done!
