Referral
We are an outreach service that goes out to new Traveller sites in the former Avon area as well as Somerset and Dorset. We visit new Traveller sites, particularly with the Tiny Playbus, to make contact with new Traveller children, young people and their families. We mostly operate through self-referral of Travellers keeping in contact with the team even when they move site
