The Mission of Journey Folki

To Promote and Perpetuate
Gypsy and Traveller Communities within Britain

We aim to maintain and further the Gypsy and Traveller way of life by various methods. Our aims are to support and inspire our communities through information and education of our rights, beliefs and theologies. We aim to continue and further our respective communities with interesting, educational and inspiring articles on heritage, history, culture, customs, crafts and language. We hope to keep the Gypsy and Traveller ways of life alive and to inspire the younger members of our communities to do the same.

An essential aim within our mission is that of Art and Education: primarily we aim to encourage families to participate in the “Learning is play and play is fun” scheme for children. This scheme includes storytelling and book learning and furthers the imagination, learning and education of both parent and child.

Our mission also includes a “Wheels within Wheels” approach towards participants and members alike – this networks ourselves with individuals and organizations within the Gypsy and Traveller communities – the aim is to extend the availability and reach of all those included in this approach and develop higher levels of consistent communication between Gypsy and Traveller communities. We are devoted to the understanding and communication between ourselves within the Gypsy and Traveller communities and other communities within Britain and welcome all to participate in a spirit of harmony and mutual appreciation.
