Gypsy Roma and Traveller History Month – June 2020

To celebrate this year’s Gypsy, Roma and Traveller History Month the Travellers’ Times will be posting and tweeting an interesting article or resource for every single day in June - like a digital ‘advent calendar’ 

So keep an eye on our Facebook Page and follow us on Twitter:
