We want a Europe that cares about its citizens. For this, we need strong social funding in the next MFF. LLLP joins the call for reframe the course of the next EU Budget

Today is an important day! The #EUFunds4Social coalition launched its new Joint Statement co-signed by 350+ organisations! 📢 A clear call to keep the European Social Fund and the European Regional Development Fund as strong and dedicated funds in the next EU budget. We need to secure higher social spending, with resources dedicated to supporting the inclusion of disadvantaged people. #ESF+ #ERDF #EUBudget #SocialInclusion

Save the Children Europe firmly stands with 68 European networks and 288 national organisations in supporting the joint statement “Building on what works: an EU budget that delivers for people and regions.” 📢 Our message is simple: with 1 in 4 children at risk of poverty or social exclusion, and more than 6 million children experiencing severe material deprivation, the next EU budget must protect a strong, ringfenced European Social Fund. 🤝This matters because the ESF is the EU’s core tool for protecting our social and democratic fabric. When that role is blurred, the people who lose out first are those already facing the biggest barriers, including children and families in vulnerable situations. ⚠️The current direction of travel is deeply worrying. Merging the ESF with a much broader set of funds without strict social safeguards would dilute its strategic focus, reduce accountability and make social investment more vulnerable to competing political priorities. That is why preserving clear protections within the ESF remains essential, including the 5% earmarking dedicated to fighting child poverty. ➡️A stronger social budget must come with stronger safeguards: meaningful partnership with civil society, protection of rights, and better access to funding for smaller not-for-profit actors working closest to children, families and communities. This is what makes the difference between funding that looks good on paper and funding that actually reaches people. #MFF #ESF #ChildPoverty #SocialRights #InvestInChildren #LeaveNoChildBehind

Prioritising mental health and wellbeing doesn't happen in a vacuum. What policymakers decide regarding the next EU multi-annual financial framework and how much they will dedicate to social spending is crucial. MHE, alongside over 300 organisations, calls on the EU to safeguard investment in people and communities.

Like the promoters of this stament also the board of AAATE believes that ESF and ERDF are essential to support employment, education and inclusion across Europe- including for persons with disabilities. We believe strong, dedicated social funding, including in assistive technology training and service development, and in accessible enviroments, is key to delivering real impact on the ground.
