11,000 people across Northern Ireland lose access to support that prevents crisis — in mental health, addiction, employability and community stability.

This isn’t just a funding cliff. It’s a cost shift.

When early intervention disappears, pressure doesn’t — it moves:
➡️ into health services
➡️ into the justice system
➡️ into welfare budgets

Short-term cuts create long-term demand.

Sustainable investment in prevention isn’t optional — it’s essential infrastructure.

We are deeply grateful to all the political representatives at both Stormont and Westminster who have spoken out over recent months in support of our services.

This support matters as we continue to press for a future for these vital services.

However, this issue has been debated and delayed for months.

For too long, it has been caught up in political finger pointing rather than decisive action from those with the power to resolve it.

Now, time is running out. In just two days, over 60 organisations supporting the most marginalised in our society will face a catastrophic funding cliff edge.

Hundreds of jobs - and the essential supports they provide to thousands of people - are acutely at risk.

Without urgent intervention, critical services will be lost.

Futures, stability, and opportunities are on the line.

has waited.

NI now needs action.

Decision makers must act now, before it is too late.

At Start360, we recognise that public confidence in justice-related services depends on one key question:
Does this work make communities safer?
Our Mentoring & Advocacy Service in Hydebank Wood is designed with that outcome in mind.
We provide structured emotional and practical support to individuals in custody focusing on stabilisation, personal responsibility, and pathways away from reoffending.

We are clear: this work is not about excusing harm—it is about preventing it.

Loving someone with an addiction is exhausting. You spend so much time trying to save them that you forget to save yourself. 🛑 SMART Recovery Family & Friends is about reclaiming your peace and restoring yourself hope. You don’t have to do this alone.

20/03/2026

7 days until UKSPF funding ends in Northern Ireland.

This funding enabled:
• Early intervention
• Community-based addiction support
• Employment for hundreds of skilled practitioners

Without a transition plan, Northern Ireland faces:
• Immediate workforce loss
• Disruption to essential services
• Increased pressure on statutory systems

This is not a future risk — it is imminent.

We are asking for:
✔ Clarity on replacement funding
✔ Continuity for frontline services
✔ Protection for the workforce

Short-term funding decisions have long-term consequences.

We need your support❗️

In just 8 working days, 11,000 people will lose support annually and 400 staff face the prospect of unemployment.

Yesterday we stood at Belfast City Hall with Mencap in Northern Ireland, NICVA, Clanrye Group, AdaptNI, Action Mental Health & NIUSE to raise awareness of the detrimental effects of this funding cliff edge, urging people to sign our petition and speak to their local representatives.
We are calling on the NI Executive to help us and protect vital services in NI. Tag your local MLA and MPs to help us and others across our communities
