Unfortunately, SASCA were one of the groups that were not successful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Discussions between the city council and SASCA are ongoing and a package of support has been made available to SASCA. This ensures that it continues to deliver for the Somali community in the city.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The charity has been given an interim payment which will allow them to keep going for a further year before the payments stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/satellite.mmu.ac.uk\/northernquota-old\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/437\/2023\/03\/Sasca-2-1024x770.jpg\" alt=\"SASCA charity front covered in graffiti \" class=\"wp-image-11147\" width=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/satellite.mmu.ac.uk\/northernquota-old\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/437\/2023\/03\/Sasca-2-1024x770.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/satellite.mmu.ac.uk\/northernquota-old\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/437\/2023\/03\/Sasca-2-300x226.jpg 300w, https:\/\/satellite.mmu.ac.uk\/northernquota-old\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/437\/2023\/03\/Sasca-2-768x578.jpg 768w, https:\/\/satellite.mmu.ac.uk\/northernquota-old\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/437\/2023\/03\/Sasca-2-1536x1156.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/satellite.mmu.ac.uk\/northernquota-old\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/437\/2023\/03\/Sasca-2-2048x1541.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">SASCA in the heart of the community &#8211; Image: Thomas Mansbridge<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ProfAnyaAhmed\">Anya Ahmed<\/a>, chairman of the charity said: &#8220;Though it does mean that we don\u2019t have to send out redundancies and close the office, it&#8217;s not good in the long term as it means we\u2019ll be in the same position again in a year.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s really pulled the rug from underneath us. It&#8217;s not a solution, it&#8217;s a stay of execution.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Impact on community<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>SASCA provides vital help for Somali residents of Manchester. They help with anything that the community needs assistance with, from updating immigration status to booking a doctor&#8217;s appointment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anya Ahmed, who is of Somali heritage, said: \u201cThe direct impact on the community would be devastating. There are no other charities in the area where the people of Somali can come in, speak in their own language, and get help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We do everything, whatever they come in with, we will help them. If this service is withdrawn, there will be nowhere for them to go.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anya said that the residents she had spoken to were, &#8220;horrified, upset, and distressed\u201d and that the closure would be \u201clike cutting off a lifeline&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>&#8216;We do everything, whatever they come in with, we will help them.&#8217;<\/p><cite>Anya Ahmed<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The cut has come when the community is in a vulnerable position. She said: \u201cThe funding has been squeezed when times are hardest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt&#8217;s at a time when people\u2019s lives are being made more difficult. From the impacts of COVID and now the cost-of-living crisis.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The charity has been applying elsewhere to get the funds to keep SASCA going.
