Community Safety

One Voice for Travellers

One Voice for Travellers promotes equal opportunities and good relationships between Gypsy and Travellers, and the settled community.

Set up by a group of Travellers, they work to increase understanding and reduce violence. Part of this work is confidential support for Gypsy women and girls who may be experiencing violence, domestic abuse, or are struggling to obtain educational opportunities.  

A grant from us has supported the continuation of their work with women and girls in Essex and proactively deal with incidents of abuse by telephone text, email, and online, in respect of Traveller, Gypsy or Roma culture. Ultimately promoting the security of the entire community.
