A very sad day at @fswc. Five staff losing their jobs as a result of the end of European Social Fund. #esf #funding 62 years experience lost. A massive thank you to Joanne,Yvonne,Ingrid & Bernie for their dedication, professionalism and amazing spirit. #shameful #BrexitReality

@thewomenscen @NICVA @dptfinance @CommunitiesNI @Economy_NI @dcsdcouncil Devastating! @thewomenscen We are in the same boat. 5 great Staff members gone. 😢
