Responding to a Parliamentary answer from the government on the proceeds of the sale of Chelsea FC, James Somerville, NPC’s Head of Policy said:
“It’s good that the government is signalling that they won’t give up on getting these funds to humanitarian causes in Ukraine as promised. But the ongoing focus on these funds highlights the need for a long-term, sustainable approach to funding foreign aid.
As we approach the Spending Review, we hope to see the shift continue towards meaningful partnership between government and the impact sector as a whole, but the sector needs a clear update on when these crucial funds might be available.”
