About this event

Charity & Causes • Other

Romani (Gypsy), Roma and Irish Traveller communities experience some of the worst outcomes of any ethnic group across a huge range of areas, including education, health, employment, criminal justice and hate crime. Despite decades of inquiries, damning reports and policy papers our communities remain persistently left behind and underserved, it is clear that this is an issue of systemic exclusion.
