The funding was due to run out tomorrow
The Department of Education has announced that they are to scrap the School Holiday Food Grant alongside the Engage and Healthy Happy Minds programmes.
Announcing the cuts, a Department of Education spokesperson said: "Since July 2020 additional ringfenced funding has been provided to enable the Department of Education to pay School Holiday Food Grants on behalf of the Executive. From April 2023 this additional ringfenced funding has ended and therefore school holiday food grants can no longer be made.
Meanwhile, the Department have announced that the Healthy Happy Minds and Engage programmes are also to be scrapped. They added that they will now take the opportunity, with the conclusion of the pilot, to fully consider the findings of the evaluation and develop proposals for primary counselling and therapy provision in the context of the Children and Young People’s Emotional Health and Wellbeing Framework.
“We will draw on the positive learning from both programmes, which were fundamental in helping our children and young people address the impacts of the pandemic, to inform the development and implementation of future interventions. "Schools were made aware that no further funding would be available after the 31 March 2023 in their allocation letters and communications in respect of the Engage Planner in November 2022 and February 2023."
