BBC Good Morning Ulster - Supporting People demo

As Programme for Government negotiations continue, a broad coalition of charities demonstrated at Stormont calling for an immediate 10% increase in funding for Supporting People services to protect many of Northern Ireland’s most vulnerable people.

The charities are also asking the new Northern Ireland Executive to prioritise assisting people with specific needs to live independently.

Colette Moore from Clanmil and Corey Cosgrove, a service user with Simon Community, talk about the vital importance of Supporting People funding and the need for a 10% increase.
