GALWAY TRAVELLER MOVEMENT COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE

Galway Traveller Movement Company Limited By Guarantee is a Galway-based advocacy organisation dedicated to confronting discrimination and racism faced by the Traveller community in both the city and county. With 27 years of experience, the movement works to empower Travellers to claim their rights and to foster full equality, social justice and meaningful participation in all aspects of Irish life.

The organisation delivers a suite of community-focused programmes, including the #TravellerHomesNow campaign to improve accommodation, initiatives that protect and promote Traveller culture and heritage, and education projects that create respectful, culturally safe learning environments. It also runs enterprise and work schemes to tackle employment inequality, health and wellbeing programmes aimed at improving mental health outcomes, and support for individuals confronting racism and discrimination. Local Traveller Action Groups provide a grassroots platform for members to take direct action and shape policy.

Through awards such as the 2022 Traveller Achievement Awards and a strong network of volunteers, Galway Traveller Movement continues to drive social change, ensuring that Traveller voices are heard and that lasting, inclusive progress is achieved across Galway and beyond.
