Savvy Chavvy is a social network for young Gypsies and Travellers in the UK, with 2,800 members. It provides a safe space for discussions between members of this community, who often face racism on other social media sites. The network allows users to find family members, make friends, and organize events. It is important that leadership within the Gypsy and Traveller community understands and supports the social network, but does not necessarily lead it, so that the community's needs can shape the objectives. Sustainability is achieved through low-cost technology that is owned and maintained by the community itself.
