Question:
To ask the Minister of Health, Social Services and Public Safety to detail the funding his Department has provided to support the work of community and voluntary organisations in (a) East Londonderry; and (b) the rest of Northern Ireland in each of the last three years.

Answer:

Annually, my Department allocates £4.7m to the voluntary and community sector. Funding to individual organisations is listed on the Government Funder’s Database and can be accessed at www.volcomgrantsni.gov.uk.

This funding is provided to regional organisations, many of which have offices, or provide services, in Londonderry. Information about organisations operating in East Londonderry is not readily available.
