We are the only national charity that provides support to all Gypsies, Travellers and Roma, regardless of ethnicity, culture or background. We work on campaigning, case work, and capacity building to help Gypsy and Traveller groups help themselves and mainstream organisations to work better with Gypsies and Travellers. We offer advice and advocacy for individual Gypsies and Travellers, families and communities.
As well as a national advice line, we have an outreach team working across Sussex and Surrey. This work includes supporting those at risk of offending, those within the criminal justice system and leaving prison.
We support Traveller and Gypsy peer groups at HMP Ford and HMP Lewes. We disseminate and share knowledge and information about good practice for working with Gypsies and Travellers to a wide range of inquirers, including prisons and probation.
