Join us for our special webinar for Gypsy, Roma and Traveller History Month where our guest speakers from Friends, Families and Travellers​ will be talking about GRT issues and some of the fascinating insights from their report "Kicking the can down the road: The planning and provision of Gypsy and Traveller sites in England 1960-2023".

Friends, Families and Travellers (FFT) are a leading national charity who work to end racism and discrimination against Gypsy, Roma, and Traveller people and to protect the right to pursue a nomadic way of life.

• Explore the rich histories and diverse cultures of Gypsy, Roma, & Traveller communities
• Look at statistics on education, health, hate crime and discrimination.
• Explore issues raised in FFT's 'Kicking the can down the road'​ report.
• Examine common barriers faced by Gypsy, Roma, and Traveller individuals when in contact with accommodation providers and other services.
