About us

The Traveller Movement (TM), formally known as the Irish Traveller Movement in Britain, gained charitable status in 2003 and directed their services towards marginalised Irish Travellers in the UK. In 2008, TM widened their network and services to engage with Romani (Gypsy), Roma and Irish Traveller people.

We have developed an expertise in tackling local issues whilst shaping national policies. It has become a recognised bridge between the Romani (Gypsy), Roma and Irish Traveller sector, service providers and policy makers, stimulating debate and promoting forward-looking strategies to advance equality, civic engagement, inclusion and community cohesion.

We deliver work in a number of different areas:

• Research –mapping and collating an evidence base for change.
