The EU needs a strong Social Fund!

As discussions on the next long-term EU Budget progress, there is a growing risk that crucial social investments could be cut or merged, jeopardising support for millions of Europeans.

The EU has committed to lifting 15 million people out of poverty by 2030, but with 94.6 million still at risk!

A strong European Social Fund is essential to:

✅ Reduce inequalities and boost social cohesion

✅ Create jobs and provide training

✅ Support those most at risk of poverty and exclusion

✅ Strengthen Europe’s economic and social resilience

💡We need a stand-alone, well-funded Social Fund with clear priorities for employment, social inclusion, and poverty reduction.
