Other Work
Because we are the only independent grant-maker in the UK that specifically supports Travellers, we are often approached by other grant-makers, agencies and government offices for help and advice. We have worked in partnership with other funders such as Comic Relief as well as agencies such as the Commission for Racial Equality, the Welsh Assembly Gypsy & Traveller Unit and Planning Aid Wales. The Trust is also invited to advised and make submissions on policy documents and invited to host workshops and make presentations at conferences and seminars. If you would like to know more about what the Trust can offer, please contact the Trust Administrator.
