Frank Mitchell Show U105 - 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.

NIFHA's Chief Executive Cameron Watt speaks to Frank Mitchell on how Supporting People saves the taxpayer money and provides vital services for the most vulnerable in our society. He is calling for a 10% increase in funding.
