Wales Event

Whilst it's true that Gypsy Roma Traveller History Month is predominantly an English event due to the way it is funded that hasn't stopped others getting involved. We're very pleased to promote and support this event in Cardiff, Wales.

Local community members, Black Voluntary Sector Network Wales (BVSNW) and a partnership of local organisations and agencies are holding a FREE event to celebrate Gypsy, Roma and Traveller History Month 2009. It will take place on Tuesday 30 June from 10.00am until 3.00pm and ALL are welcome.
