Gypsy & Traveller Communities

We work to end racism and discrimination against Gypsy, Roma and Traveller people and to protect the right to pursue a nomadic way of life.

We believe in the equality and dignity of each human being. We believe in a world where everyone is included, regardless of their background, religion, ethnicity, sexuality – or indeed anything else! Everyone should be able to uphold their civil rights and play a full part in a society where they enjoy mutual respect with other people. We believe that this is possible for the Traveller, Gypsy and Roma communities and we look forward to being part of a country where this is realised.

We are a national civil society organisation comprised of ethnic Romany Gypsies, Irish Travellers, Roma and members of the majority population working in partnership

We're willing to talk about the things that others aren't

To promote social inclusion for the public benefit by working with Gypsy and Traveller groups who are socially excluded and to relieve the needs of such people to assist them to integrate into society, in particular by:-

Providing a network group that encourages and enables members of the Gypsy and Traveller community to participate more effectively with the wider community.

Our main aim is to improve the welfare of fellow Gypsies and Travellers by facilitating them to live full and purposeful lives and enabling them to contribute to the well being of their communities. We actively address the discrimination experienced by Romany Gypsies and Travellers and encourage the wider general public to understand and celebrate our Romany Gypsy Traveller culture and heritage.
