Ní Chuilín encourages charities to apply to new fund

Sinn Féin MLA Carál Ní Chuilín has encouraged charities under financial pressure as a result of COVID-19 to apply to the new COVID-19 Charities fund which will open on Monday 15 June.

 

Speaking the North Belfast MLA said:

 

“I welcome the announcement today by the Minister for Communities Deirdre Hargey that the £15.5 million fund to support local charities during this pandemic will be open from Monday the 15th of June.

 

“Many in the charity sector provide invaluable services and support to those most in need within our communities all year round. 

“Throughout this pandemic, many charities have continued to deliver services. They have been working tirelessly on the frontline to ensure that support continued within communities.

 

“I want to commend those in the charity sector for their efforts over recent months and also the Minister for Communities for establishing this fund to support charities that are in need of financial assistance.

 

“This fund could be the lifeline for many of those in the sector and I want to encourage charities that are under financial pressure to apply to this fund.”

I was delighted to join with the largest team of Sinn Féin TDs in over one hundred years at Leinster House.

With Sinn Féin’s increased representation in the Dáil, the Assembly, Brussels, and in London we are a force for real and positive change across Ireland.

Families have waited far too long for truth and justice, and they shouldn’t endure further delays.

The Labour government must end its delay and fully deliver on their pre-election commitment to repeal and replace the Legacy Act, returning to the principles of the Stormont House…

Sinn Féin in the Executive has secured a 5% pay rise & a £1,500 one-off payment for NI Water workers.

Infrastructure Minister John O'Dowd & Finance Minister Caoimhe Archibald worked to deliver this offer.

Ensuring public sector workers have fair pay is a priority for Sinn Féin
