What immediate actions are being taken to address the risk of losing the Romany Gypsy culture in Britain?

Charmaine Abdul-Karim's Pride of Romany group received £23,000 to preserve the Romany culture at Sound Common, a historically significant site for the Romany Gypsies in Cheshire. This funding will create a documentary and commemorative plaque, aiming to counter the risk of this culture being lost and forgotten. The project also seeks to clarify the distinct history of Romany Gypsies, often conflated with Irish Travellers.
