About Us

THE YOUTH DIVISION WAS SET UP BECAUSE SO MANY YOUNG ROMANY GYPSY AND IRISH TRAVELLERS SUFFER FAR TOO MUCH AS THEY GROW UP, THEY FACE BULLING, DISCRIMINATION, PREJUDICE AND ARE AMONGST THE HIGHEST EXCLUDED CHILD FROM SCHOOL'S. I WANTED TO KNOW WHY THIS HAPPENS; I WAS BULLIED AT SECONDARY SCHOOL FOR THE FIRST YEAR AND A HALF. SO I KNEW HOW MANY OF THEM FELT. I DECIDED MUCH OF THIS IS DUE TO THE LACK OF KNOWLEDGE AND THE SHEER IGNORANCE OF SOME PEOPLE. SO CAME THE PLAN TO TRY AND PUT A FULL STOP TO THIS ALL. HOW WAS THE NEXT QUESTION? WE MUST TEACH ALL ABOUT OUR WAY OF LIFE AND EDUCATE PEOPLE THIS WAY THE STEREOTYPICAL ATTITUDES WILL START TO FALL. AND SO IT HAS. WE KNOW TEACH OTHER YOUTH HOW TO BE DIVERSE AND TEACH ABOUT THEMSELVES, BUT THIS CAN ONLY BE DONE IF THEY ARE GIVEN THE RIGHT'S TO BE WHO THEY ARE AND TO BE PROUD, SO NEXT MISSION TO GET ALL ROMANY GYPSIES AND IRISH TRAVELLERS TO ADMIT WHO THEY ARE AND TO BE PROUD TO SAY WHO THEY ARE. NOT SO EASY THIS ONE, YOU CAN IMAGINE AFTER YEARS OF BEING PUT DOWN THE LAST THING YOU WANT TO DO IS ENCOURAGE PEOPLE BY TELLING THEM YOUR A GYPSY OR A TRAVELLER. BUT WE WILL GET THERE.
