Our Story
York Travellers Trust (YTT) is the longest running registered charity within the UK that works primarily with Gypsy and Traveller Communities (GTC).
Based in York and surrounding areas, we're here to amplify the voices of the GTC on a local and national level. The GTC is at the heart of what we do and we believe it is vital that as a charity, the support we offer and the goals we work towards are led by the local community. From the educational support we provide to the policies we advocate for, these are decided by the GTC, for the GTC.
