Over the year we have supported any families that have presented themselves to us to register with the local GP’s. Today there are 100% uptake of registrations with GPs amongst the Traveller community.

We have completed a comprehensive health audit of the health status of Travellers living in Craigavon. 80% of all Travellers living in Craigavon part-took in the audit and this has given CTSC the opportunity to develop programmes to meet the needs identified in the report.

We are engaged in the process of facilitating peer researchers to enable our families to input into the 'All Ireland Health Study' which is being carried out by UCD.

For some of our young women trampoline sessions have been provided for a group in partnership with Craigavon Leisure Centre. This programme is part of the ongoing Healthy Way Forward programme. Two girls from the group attending lessons are now being encouraged by their coach to compete within the sport. This has been an enormous boost to their self-esteem and confidence. Subsequent to this a partnership has developed with Chrysalis to promote integration and cultural understanding. Five young Traveller women have been regularly attending swimming lessons at the local leisure centre in partnership with some of the attendees of the Chrysalis young women's group.

It is important to note that all programmes offered by CTSC are reviewed on a monthly basis due to the number of housed and nomadic families residing in the Lurgan/Craigavon area.
