Future of European Structural Funds
28th November 2006, 2:57 pm
A Voluntary Sector Briefing to MSPs for the Scottish Parliament debate on the future of the European Structural Funds earlier this month is now available on SCVO’s web site. The headline concerns about Scottish Executive plans are: Vital training and employment services put at risk, Most vulnerable/priority groups hardest hit, Voluntary sector denied direct access to new European Programme.
The various organisations involved in the briefing indicate that the changes could lead to 1200 redundancies and the closure of projects serving 17,500 people.
