Today, Friends, Families and Travellers (FFT) is launching its Gypsy, Roma and Traveller History Month (GRTHM) theme Gypsy, Roma and Traveller ‘Heroes’ Month: “Who inspires you?”
Like every June, GRTHM is about celebrating the rich and diverse cultures, histories, and traditions of Romany Gypsy, Roma, Irish Traveller, New Traveller, Showmen and Liveaboard Boater communities.
This year, we want to celebrate the incredible community members that don’t get the spotlight they deserve – and WE NEED YOUR HELP!
We want to hear about the inspiring Gypsy, Roma and Traveller people who have made a difference to your life. It can be a family member, friend, or anyone that matters to you.
Your submissions will be part of our GRTHM celebrations, so hurry! To tell us who inspires you, send us a WhatsApp voice note on 07561866140 or just click here.
Submissions close on Sunday 16 March 2025.

We’re passionate about widening participation in our work, and we’ve taken lots of care to ensure that our GRTHM work is as inclusive as possible. This year’s theme has been co-developed with our Heritage & Celebration Work Steering Group. If you have any questions or want to get involved in our work, get in touch.
