Kushti Bok
means good luck in Romany. We chose the name to reflect our objectives
to support and encourage people within our communities to overcome
discrimination, isolation and stigma. We are a group representing the Gypsy and
New Traveller communities in Dorset, which is the largest single minority group
in Dorset. Some of our families have been established in Dorset for over 500 years.
We aim to act as a
link between our communities and a range of local and national agencies
We work with many organisations
to raise awareness of the needs of our communities and to overcome
discrimination and barriers.
