Two long-running education schemes that benefit children and young people in west Belfast and County Antrim are at risk due to a lack of funding.
The Sharing the Learning programme in west Belfast involves 51 schools and thousands of pupils.
Meanwhile, the In Your Corner scheme run by Monkstown Boxing Club supports about 250 young people in that area.
But Department of Education (DE) funding for both schemes ends on 31 March and has not yet been renewed.
The department told BBC News NI that while it has not had a confirmed budget allocation, it is likely it will need to make significant savings.
The Sharing the Learning Programme is run by the West Belfast Partnership Board (WBPB).
