The organisation referred to by the Deputy was approved for funding from the Community Services Programme and is currently being funded under the Community Services Programme. Their contract will expire at the end of December 2010 in line with all contracts under that Programme. I am currently considering proposals to extend the contracts for organisations providing services under the Community Services Programme. This organisation is included in that process. I hope to be in a position to inform the organisation of the outcome of this process in the coming weeks.
