New animation promotes greater understanding

An animation has been created based on Two Sides of the Same Story, a booklet aimed at local government, the NHS and other service providers to encourage a greater understanding of the barriers that people from Gypsy/Traveller communities face when trying to access services.

Gypsy/Travellers speak most of the parts for themselves in the animation, with MECOPP workers and volunteers speaking the rest.

The animation will be available to see on MECOPP’s website, www.mecopp.org.uk, and will be used in its Awareness Raising Workshops where it is hoped it can add to greater understanding of existing barriers and to a future of easy access to services for the community.
