Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what proportion of public monies received by the (a) community and (b) voluntary sector came from the EU.

Government is continuing to assess the impact of leaving the EU on the voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) sector, including around funding. The National Council for Voluntary Organisations estimate that in 2014/15 the UK voluntary sector received between £350-450 million of EU funding. Estimates for 2016 are not yet available.

There are a wide range of EU funds that community and voluntary sector organisations access. Government is actively listening to the views of community and voluntary sector organisations as we develop successor funding schemes to EU programmes
