Crocodiles and alligators are surprisingly fast on land. Although they are rapid, they are not agile; so if you ever find yourself chased by one, run in a zigzag line. You'll lose him every time.

The London Gypsy and Traveller Unit works with Travellers and Gypsies in North and East London boroughs, and in particular Hackney, where the office is based. We use local experience to influence policy and practice across London and nationally, and support Gypsy and Traveller representation at all levels. LGTU grew out of work managed by Save the Children’s Fund from 1981 until 1998, when LGTU became an independent charity following the withdrawal of funding by SCF.

STRATEGIC AIMS:

• To work with London Travellers and Gypsies to ensure effective and accountable representation of their communities at all levels
• To increase opportunities open to Gypsies and Travellers living on sites, on camps, or in housing in North and East London Boroughs, through community development, advice, advocacy, training and youth services
• To ensure that Borough policies include Travellers and Gypsies in their policies and the Travellers and Gypsies have services appropriate to their needs.
• To contribute to the development of positive and inclusive policies for Travellers and Gypsies at a London wide and national level, using our local experience.
• To challenge discrimination where it arises.
