June is Gypsy, Roma and Traveller History Month 2025.

There are rich and diverse historical traditions and cultures among the Irish Traveller, Romany Gypsy, Roma, New Traveller, Boater and Showmen communities which deserve to be celebrated.

Beyond the celebration of ‘alternative cultures’, this History Month puts a spotlight on the day-to-day challenges faced by these communities across the country, including Warwickshire.

‘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 their right to pursue a nomadic way of life.

They 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.
