Who I work with

Friends, Families and Travellers (FFT) organisation which seeks to end racism and discrimination against Gypsies and Travellers, whatever their ethnicity, culture or background, whether settled or mobile, and to protect the right to pursue a nomadic way of life.

The overall objective of the organisation is to work towards a more equitable society where everyone has the right to travel and to stop without constant fear of persecution because of their lifestyle. Consequently, FFT does not restrict it’s services to one particular group nor does it represent one group against another, but rather responds to the needs of the community as a whole.
