A protest meeting is to be held by community groups about the decision by the Department for Social Development to further delay the already late distribution of Neighbourhood Renewal Funds. This was one of the Slugger Awards Jobsworth nominees. NICVA says 150 groups are being effected by this decision and in one community I know of the delays have already resulted in 6 workers being laid off (about half the workers in the area). Note this is not affected by the Executive hiatus.
We are reader supported. Donate to keep Slugger lit!
For over 20 years, Slugger has been an independent place for debate and new ideas. We have published over 40,000 posts and over one and a half million comments on the site. Each month we have over 70,000 readers. All this we have accomplished with only volunteers we have never had any paid staff.
Slugger does not receive any funding, and we respect our readers, so we will never run intrusive ads or sponsored posts. Instead, we are reader-supported. Help us keep Slugger independent by becoming a friend of Slugger. While we run a tight ship and no one gets paid to write, we need money to help us cover our costs.
If you like what we do, we are asking you to consider giving a monthly donation of any amount, or you can give a one-off donation. Any amount is appreciated.
