A long way to go
This briefing from the YWCA focuses on the lives of young women from Gypsy and Traveller communities. They face negative stereotyping and a lack of understanding of their culture, which contributes towards statistics including the highest maternal death rate among all ethnic groups. This briefing covers issues including realities of Traveller life, discrimination, health and education.

CSV has created this "online time capsule" to provide a snapshot of volunteering from 26 million volunteers in the UK. It includes short films and stories from volunteers and those who have benefited from their work. The films were made by groups and individuals in 2005 and 2006 and create a resource of motivational material for education, training and charitable groups. Some are available to broadcasters to make their own volunteering features.
