Ní Chuilín welcomes multimillion package to support those most in need

Sinn Féin MLA Carál Ní Chuilín has welcomed a funding package worth almost £14 million for the Supporting People programme will help the most vulnerable in society. 

Carál Ní Chuilín said:

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

“Today’s 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.
