About Gypsy, Roma and Traveller History Month 

Gypsy, Roma and Traveller History Month started in Brent in 2001. With endorsement from Parliament in 2007 GRTHM went national in 2008.

Lord Adonis, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Schools, when he gave his approval in October 2007 said:

‘We can challenge myths, tackle prejudice and be in a position to offer a balanced debate about the issues. We will be able to celebrate the richness that Gypsy, Roma and Travellers communities bring to our everyday lives through their many varied academic and artistic achievements.’

Gypsy, Roma and Traveller History Month remains a vital opportunity to tell the stories of Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities and celebrate their cultural achievements.
