I don't think people realise how much the EU gives in funding to charities and local services.
The general theme is that those considering voting for an exit from the EU is that they seem to have very little idea of all the ways in which the EU benefits them and will continue to do so in the future.
The EU is our safety net.
The current government won't even fund something as fundamental as the NHS or education services so I can't possibly imagine they'll continue to fund areas and services that the European Social Fund or the European Regional Development Fund do.
Cornwall for example, support Brexit yet are one of only two areas in the UK to receive convergence funding. I highly doubt a Brexit will increased funding and opportunities from our Government.
Are they under the impression that Boris will suddenly care about them?
