Derbyshire Gypsy Liaison Group
The Derbyshire Gypsy Liaison Group provides a range of services and projects, and offers vital advice and information. It has over 25 years’ experience and expertise working with the Gypsy and Traveller community, and is an advocate for the community in relations with local authorities and other statutory services. It works to secure site provision in the county, seeks to improve health and education access and provision, and provides welfare and other advice to community members.
The Allen Lane Foundation made a grant of £10,000 split over a two-year period from June 2015. The grant is towards costs of employing a dedicated worker to manage the Group’s telephone helpline, ensuring a consistent level of support to people calling for assistance.
