Welcome to Leeds GATE
We are here for Gypsies and Travellers: improving quality of life across West Yorkshire since 2003.
Whether as a Gypsy or Traveller resident or passing through, or as someone that can help to forward our mission – you are welcome here.
We are Leeds Gypsy and Traveller Exchange
Known mostly as Leeds GATE, we’re a membership organisation led by Gypsy and Traveller people, in partnership with others, across West Yorkshire.
Guided by our values, we support families and individuals at every stage of life. We are member-led, making decisions together as equals. We challenge racism and inequality.
What we do
We work with hundreds of people each year to improve their quality of life, with over 1000 members across West Yorkshire.
