Description

We are looking to commission an organisation (community, voluntary or private) with a good track record of engaging with Gypsy, Traveller and Roma (GTR) communities on local issues. The aim of the project is to develop good representation from each GTR community into the Walsall for All Programme funded by MHCLG and increase awareness of their issues and challenges amongst public, private and community and voluntary sector with the aim to overcome these challenges in future.

The provider will involve GTR communities in development of empowerment programmes to support themselves in future on a range of issues from health, education and hate crime. Preferred providers will be those that have direct links with local Gypsy, Traveller and Roma communities, possessing good cultural insight gained from personal experience. One of the outputs is to develop training resources and toolkits with Gypsies, Travellers and Roma themselves and organise a local conference/s. As part of the legacy of this project it is expected that GTR communities will have a greater positive impact on decision-making and community relations in Walsall.
