Travelling Ahead

Save the Children’s Travelling Ahead project was set up to support young Gypsies and Travellers in Wales to have a voice and a say on decisions that affect them. The Travelling Ahead website has a space for young people to discuss important issues, learn more about their rights and upload media content.

It also has a toolkit for professionals, which contains resources to support them in their work with young Gypsies and Travellers, information on culture, rights and policy context, and information on grants that you can apply for to set up a Gypsy and Traveller youth forum in your Local Authority.
