About
The Traveller Emporium was created to celebrate Traveller and Romany culture, support community businesses, and create opportunities for future generations. This page shares the story behind the platform and the purpose driving its work.
Our Story
The Traveller Emporium was founded by Cheryl McDonagh, an advocate, entrepreneur, and community activist dedicated to creating opportunity and representation for Traveller and Romany communities.
Through years of advocacy, community engagement, and business leadership, Cheryl recognised the need for a platform that would celebrate our people, promote our businesses, and create meaningful opportunities for future generations.
The Traveller Emporium was created to bring communities together, support entrepreneurship, celebrate culture, and help build a stronger future for Traveller and Romany people.
Our Purpose
The Traveller Emporium exists to empower, uplift, and unite Traveller and Romany communities.
The platform provides opportunities for people to connect, support one another, and celebrate the strength of our culture and heritage. Through education initiatives, enterprise support, events, and community projects, The Traveller Emporium aims to open doors that have too often been closed to our communities.
By encouraging collaboration and opportunity, The Traveller Emporium works to build stronger, more confident communities for the future.

Looking Forward
The Traveller Emporium is built on the belief that our communities deserve opportunity, recognition, and a future where our people can thrive.
By supporting businesses, investing in education, celebrating culture, and creating spaces for connection, the platform aims to help the next generation grow up with confidence, pride in their identity, and the belief that they can achieve their goals.
The vision is simple: stronger communities, greater opportunity, and a future where Traveller and Romany people are recognised, respected, and supported.
