Charity to provide education courses for Gypsies and Travellers in Lincolnshire

From the Lincolnshire Echo

A charity working to educate Lincolnshire's Traveller community has taken to the road thanks to a funding grant.

The Lincolnshire Traveller Initiative (LTI), which helps to offer training and other education courses to the county's Gypsies and Travellers, has received the £15,000 grant from national charity The Clothworker's Foundation.

The money has been used to buy a minibus which has been transformed into a mobile learning bus and is now visiting Traveller sites in Lincolnshire to offer new learning opportunities.

Paul Boucher, of the LTI, said: "We worked hard consulting with the Traveller community about their learning needs and now we can take to the road ensuring they get easier access to our services.
