Leeds City Council’s Public Health team carried out a Roma Mental Health Needs Assessment by holding focus groups with people from the Roma community.
The listening exercise aimed to get a better understanding of the challenges facing the Roma community in Leeds and the full report is available on the Leeds Observatory: Roma HNA Report (leeds.gov.uk)
An overview of the recommendations, within the report, are outlined below:
- We believe that solutions for problems facing a community are best produced by working with the people in the community itself.
- We want to support grass-roots initiatives from people and organisations working in and with the Roma community, to help address the issues raised in this report.
- We will use a community champions approach that makes best use of the community’s strengths, to deliver sustainable and meaningful change.
- We will be reaching out through third-sector partners to offer small grants in support of projects addressing the recommendations of this report.
