Since June 2008 Gypsy, Roma and Traveller History Month has been celebrated from 1st - 30th June by people throughout the UK.
Due to a lack of understanding about their way of life, Gypsies, Roma and Travellers have often suffered prejudice and persecution.
Through celebration, education and raising awareness, Gypsy, Roma and Traveller History Month helps to tackle prejudice, challenge myths and to amplify the voices of Gypsies, Roma and Travellers in wider society.
This year, we plan to mark Gypsy, Roma and Traveller History Month using the theme ‘Make Some Space’.
