“Upholding Tradition, Embracing the Journey”
We are a community that celebrates the spirit of the Irish Travellers—an indigenous group with deep roots, a shared history, and a distinct culture of resilience and perseverance. Known as “the walking people,” Irish Travellers remind us that the road is not just a place we travel, but a part of who we are. Though faced with cultural isolation and societal challenges, the strength of our traditions and sense of belonging has kept us together.
Mission:
- Preserve Our Cultural Identity: Like the Irish Travellers, we are proud of our heritage, language, and customs. Through sharing stories, languages, and experiences, we ensure that our traditions remain vibrant and passed down to future generations.
- Embrace Our Differences: While we may come from various backgrounds, we share a common goal of living freely and authentically. We honor diversity within our community, fostering an environment where everyone’s path is respected.
- Stand Together in Solidarity: Irish Travellers have faced discrimination and misunderstanding for centuries, yet they remain a united people. In this spirit, we support each other through challenges, advocating for acceptance, respect, and dignity for all within our community.
- Celebrate Our Faith and Beliefs: Just as the majority of Irish Travellers hold strong religious and spiritual beliefs, we welcome the spiritual diversity of our community. Faith and culture guide us, and together, we uplift each other on our journey.
- Travel with Purpose: As “the walking people,” we recognize that travel is not just a movement, but a way of life. Whether on the road or settled temporarily, we continue our journey with purpose, integrity, and respect for the lands and communities we encounter.
Together, we roam with pride in our identity, resilience in the face of adversity, and hope for a future where our paths, stories, and cultures are honored and celebrated.
For the Travellers, for our shared journey, for a stronger community—together, we roam.
