Larne Council to Increase Funding

Following a meeting of Larne Borough Council held on Monday 7th February councilors voted unanimously to increase funding to Larne CAB by more than 30%. This vote ratified a new three year Service Level Agreement and followed an earlier and very positive presentation to councilors by Michelle Campbell, the bureau's acting manager. The outcome is particularly welcome at a time when public spending is under much scrutiny and the need for effective advice is growing.

This very welcome decision is an endorsement by the Council of all the hard work undertaken by the bureau and will allow for the ongoing development of the existing service. It is also a public commitment to the free, independent, impartial and confidential advice and information service provided for people living within the town.

All staff, volunteers and Committee members within the bureau wish to thank the Council for taking this decision as for them it is clearly a vote of confidence in the work that they do and the benefits this work has for the people of Larne.
