Advocacy and Campaigns
Along with working directly with members of the GTC, at York Travellers Trust we are committed to ending discrimination and campaigning to empower the GTC on a local and national level.
Sometimes not as visible as the day-to-day support that we offer, the organisation is constantly working strategically to reduce inequality, fight discrimination and make sure that the voices of Gypsy and Traveller Communities are heard.
City of York Council's local plan provision for Traveller sites
Despite self-declaring themselves as a Human Rights City and considering becoming an Anti-Racist and Inclusive City, City of York Council still has a lot of work to do to ensure that the rights of Gypsy and Traveller Communities are considered in their Local Plan.
York Travellers Trust has invested a huge amount of strategic work to try to shape York's Local Plan.
