Morning all

I’m wondering who provides advice to itinerant communites in the South, or whether, if providers are split between South East/South West who they might be.

Particularly interested in Bath & London.

Cheers

Dan

Maybe try the Travellers Advice Team?

Says the advice line will be staffed between 10.00am – 1.00pm and 2.00pm to 5.00pm Monday to Friday (with exception of Bank Holidays). The number is 0121 685 8677

If they can’t help, they may be able to point you in the right direction.

Also found an outfit called Travellers Space in Cornwall, but not so clear what they do.

Cheers Paul

I can say with some authority that the TAT are unlikely to be an attractive option and may well have a conflict of interest. I need to keep the floor open to suggestions.

I’m sure I heard somewhere that Bath and North East Somerset council funded traveller advice via CAB but I couldn’t find reference to it.
