Local Growth Fund
That this Assembly recognises the positive impact that the European Regional Development Fund and the European Social Fund have had in supporting the community and voluntary sector; notes the ongoing failure of the British Government to deliver on the commitment to fully replace European funding in the aftermath of Brexit; further notes the ongoing lack of clarity from the British Government regarding the Local Growth Fund which will replace the Shared Prosperity Fund in 2026; acknowledges the uncertainty for the community and voluntary sector here; calls on the British Government to fulfil its promise to match European Union funding in full and to provide clarity for the community and voluntary sectors beyond 2026; and further calls on the British Government to fulfil its commitment to return decision-making on structural funds to the Executive and to urgently engage to ensure a replacement fund can be put in place by April 2026.
