The latest progress report for the organisation was published on their website on Friday the 8th November 2019. It can be accessed at:

I acknowledge the progress achieved by the organisation in the implementation of numerous important recommendations, particularly with regard to safeguarding issues. I have extended funding to the organisation for a further four-month period, up until the end of April 2020. I plan to meet with Representatives of the organisation again in March 2020 following the completion of the Report by Mr. Ian Elliot. At this time I will consider if the organisation has achieved the strong governance standards required of organisations in receipt of public funding, which would allow for the restoration of ongoing funding.
