Travellers
You may live in a trailer, van, bus, bender, tepee, tent or some other alternative accommodation.
Although you may not have the usual hassles associated with more traditional accommodation or life styles, you could experience other difficulties. These include prejudice, harassment or problems using services (such as education or benefits).
