This World Gypsy, Roma and Traveller History Month, we’re celebrating the strength, culture and voices of Romany Gypsy, Roma and Irish Traveller communities.

This quote reflects one person’s lived experience shared in Gypsies, Roma and Travellers by Declan Henry – a book rooted in listening, respect and real stories.

“For Traveller families across Kent, living in bricks and mortar has becoming common. Home is family: kinship and the people who stand with you.”

👉 Kent Family Hubs welcome Gypsy, Roma and Traveller families and offer support with:

• Early Years & Family Support
• Health and Wellbeing
• Parenting, Relationships and Local Services
