Kunle Olulode, Director, Voice4Change England: “With limited emergency funding available, it’s important that charity groups and communities are kept fully informed of the support that is available during this really difficult time for civil society. Good outreach communication is going to be critical to reach all. We will do our best, with other infrastructure bodies to ensure the message gets out.”
Ahead of our screening of Blacks Britannica on Saturday 28th January Saqib Deshmukh from V4CE spoke to Colin Prescod a documentary film and theatre maker, and TV commissioning editor who was involved in the making of the film in 1978. Colin provides an analysis at different parts of the film so I asked him an overarching question about the relevance of the film today.

By Chris Whitwell, CEO of Friends Families and Travellers
As an organisation which continues to fight for fairness and equality on behalf of Gypsies and Travellers we know first hand how important it is to work collaboratively with other organisations.
A main concern for Gypsies and Travellers is the shortage of appropriate accommodation, and to put some context to this, we don't know exactly how many Gypsies and Travellers there are in the UK because before 2011 they were not included in census statistics. However, it is estimated that there are between 200,000 and 300,000 Gypsies and Travellers in the UK (excluding newly arrived Roma from other parts of Europe).
