Mishto Pledge for Charities
Charities across the UK have played and continue to play a key role in the successful settlement of the UK’s Roma communities.
Organisations in various parts of the UK have made significant efforts to ensure Roma people can access services and we are aware of the huge efforts they have made in this regard.
At the same time, we are aware there are many more brilliant organisations working day and night to improve the situation of the communities they represent. And we know Roma people would be in a much better position if they could access the services these organisations are providing.
The Mishto Campaign and the Mishto Pledge for Charities were developed to help develop the knowledge and skills some organisations need to ensure their services are more inclusive and accessible for those from the Roma communities.
We thank you for taking time to read about the Mishto Campaign.
To support charities to commit to the campaign we have created the Mishto Pledge for Charities and Mishto Guidance for Charities.
Please read them (by clicking the photos below) and/or share them with those who can make things happen.
