Mishto Pledge for Charities
Charities across the UK played and still have a very important role towards the successful settlement of Roma communities in
the UK.
Organisations in various parts of the UK have made significant efforts to ensure Roma people can access their services and we
are aware of the huge efforts they had to make.
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 towards filling in the gap in 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 your local charity commit to the campaign we have developed 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.
