Question:
To ask the Minister for Communities what advice she is giving to charities whose European structural funds are due to finish by the end of the 2022/23 financial year.

Answer:

I am fully committed to providing support to organisations who deliver critical services through projects funded by the European Social Fund (ESF). That is why I recently confirmed that I will continue to provide £1.5m matched funding to existing ESF projects in 2022/23.
