Offaly Traveller Movement (OTM) is a Traveller led community development organisation that aims to achieve full equality for the Traveller community in County Offaly. We offer various programmes and services such as health promotion, mental health, accommodation, youth, and education. Our organisation supports Travellers to reach their full potential and develop initiatives to tackle poverty, social exclusion, disadvantage, and discrimination. Irish Travellers are an indigenous minority ethnic group in Ireland, with a distinct set of values, customs, traditions, and culture that sets them apart from the majority population. They were formally recognised as a distinct ethnic group in 2017.
