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.
