    24th November 2020 Dear Stakeholder Re: EU Successor Funding in Northern Ireland: Position Paper for Society of Local Authority Chief Executives NI (SOLACE NI) I am pleased to provide you with a copy of the Executive Summary of SOLACE NI Position Paper in relation to EU successor funding in Northern Ireland, developed with the support of NILGA the Northern Ireland Local Government Association. The full Position Paper can be accessed via the following link: https://www.nilga.org/media/2171/241120-final-ni-spf-position-paper-24-november-2020.pdf As you will be aware and as part of its plans for exiting the EU, the UK Government pledged to establish a Shared Prosperity Fund. In July 2018, James Brokenshire (Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government) made a Written Statement setting out more details about the Fund. The main points of this statement were: The purpose of the Fund is “to reduce inequalities between communities across our four nations”; The method for doing this is “strengthening the foundations of productivity as set out in our modern Industrial Strategy to support people to benefit from economic prosperity”; The Government will “respect the devolution settlements in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland” so that the Fund works across the UK; Consultation on the design of the Fund would take place later that year. Although the UK Government has not yet published a consultation on the fund, the wider local government sector in Northern Ireland have had serious concerns that unlike our counterparts in Wales and Scotland, the co-design and regional consultation approach to this future funding, has not yet materialised in Northern Ireland.

    ALL IN: EVERYONE, EVERYWHERE, EVERY WAY ALLIN VISION STRATEGY 2020–2025 1 ALL IN: EVERYONE, EVERYWHERE, EVERY WAY WE SEE A CHURCH THAT IS ALL IN. Rather than settling for fledgling faith or resting on one-time decisions, we want to seek God daily, follow Jesus relentlessly and rely on the Spirit fully. We see a church going deeper as disciples, growing closer as family and reaching wider in witness. A people whose foundation is the Bible and whose focus is the Great Commission. A church that holds on to both word and spirit; worship and prayer; discipleship and outreach; ancient principles and contemporary practices; local compassion and global mission. WE SEE A CHURCH THAT IS ALL IN TO THE GOING DEEPER WITH JESUS. A church where accepting Jesus is not the finish line but a starting point. A people not just ascribing to a set of beliefs but allowing our whole lives to be consumed by love for Jesus. ALL IN A church where parents and leaders are partners in disciple- making. A church that prioritises passing on the story of faith to our children and moves closer to young people in relationship. A church that invests in empowering a new generation of leaders and releases them into positions of authority both within our VISION congregation and in our culture. 2 ALL IN: EVERYONE, EVERYWHERE, EVERY WAY WE SEE A CHURCH THAT IS ALL IN TO GROWING CLOSER AS FAMILY. A church that may meet in different locations at different times but continues pursuing unity and committing to community.
