Friends, Families and Travellers (FFT) is a national charity working to end racism and discrimination against Gypsy, Roma and Traveller people. We are dedicated to protecting the right to pursue a nomadic way of life and supporting individuals and families with the issues that matter most to them.

We also work to transform systems and institutions to address the root causes of inequalities faced by Gypsy, Roma and Traveller people.
