Our Vision for Change
Friends, Families and Travellers is a leading national charity that works to end racism and discrimination against Gypsy, Roma and Traveller people and to protect the right to pursue a nomadic way of life.
We support individuals and families with the issues that matter most to them, at the same time as working to transform systems and institutions to address the root causes of inequalities faced by Gypsy, Roma and Traveller people.

Our main areas of work
Health
We believe that everyone should receive the support, care and treatment they need, with the compassion, respect and dignity they deserve.
Accommodation
We believe that everyone has the right to safe and adequate living conditions and that the government has a duty to facilitate the nomadic way of life.
Hate
We believe that everyone has a responsibility to stand up against hate, prejudice and negative stereotypes and that the government has a duty to prevent and punish discrimination and hate crime.
Education
We believe that every child and young person has a right to learn in a safe environment that is free from bullying and that is affirming towards their culture and way of life.
