Pacesetters Programme
Between 2009 – 2010 we worked closely with Newham NHS and East London NHS Foundation Trust in order to reduce health inequalities in the Roma population in East London. The Roma Mental Health Project and Roma Health Communication Project were run jointly by the RSG and London NHS. The evaluation report of Gypsy, Roma and Traveller Pacesetter Programme was published in April 2010.
