A man given a bridge back to society by a mental health charity is worried by uncertainty over its funding.

Ross Anderson says mental health support has given him "a future that wasn't there"A Northern Ireland man who has hailed the benefits of a mental health charity says he is worried its services could be cut as EU funding in Northern Ireland ends.He says that after six months with Action Mental Health it has given him "a future that wasn't there".

"I was at a point where I didn't leave my house for six years, had been through different mental health services and never had that bridge to get back into society," says Mr Anderson. "Now I want to go on to mental health advocacy and through them I know that is a reality, it has just given me a future that wasn't there."While the UK government has set up UK Shared Prosperity Fund , promising to fill the void left by the removal of EU funds by 2024, there is still a great deal of uncertainty.

The ESF Peer Group, an umbrella body for a number of groups, has been working to find an adequate funding package to replace the money.
