[heronontoast]

Article in the BBC today explaining that the government have not spent £3.5m of EU funding to alleviate child poverty which was allocated 6 years ago. Every other EU country have used their funding, mostly on food aid.
Our government claimed there were too many barriers.
In a no deal Brexit this funding will likely be handed back.
