Meet the exec

Traveller Pride started life as a loose collective in 2019, but by incorporating as a CIC we have been able to work with bigger organisations on more projects. These are our current exec, who can all be reached through the email contact form on this site, or through our social media:

Percy Henderson

Percy is one of the executive directors of Traveller Pride. He lives with his partner in a bricks-and-mortar house in a small town in Yorkshire, and enjoys local history, gardening, painting, and working on his motorbike. He has the attention span of a fruit fly, so frequently can be found dabbling in weird new hobbies and making piles of books about them that he never gets around to reading. His favourite biscuit is the Parkin Pig.

Ruth Sullivan

Ruth is from an East-Anglian mixed Romany and Gorger family. They live in bricks and mortar with their partner and their rescued lurcher in Brighton. They discovered their Romany ethnicity in their teens when their Grandad finally opened up about his life to his family. They have been working backwards ever since trying to connect to people from their community and talking with their Mum and Aunt about their experiences with their Romany family members. Currently Ruth manages young carer support in Brighton at a small charity and has a particular passion for intersectional youth work that recognises the complexities of identity. Ruth is genderqueer and uses the pronouns they/them. In their free time they crochet, sew and obsessively watch bad documentaries on Discovery+. Their favourite biscuit is a Jammie Dodger.

Mark Walton

Mark is a non executive Director of Traveller Pride. He is an itinerant liveboard boater without a home mooring who has travelled the UKs waterways extensively for the past 14 years. Mark is the founder of Shared Assets, a social enterprise that works to support people managing land for public benefit and the development a more just land system. He is also a director of The Love Tank, a community interest company that promotes the health and wellbeing of underserved communities. Mark is a Bowie fan, a live music lover, an occasional performance poet and his favourite biscuit is a Jammie Dodger.

Any questions for specific exec members can be sent to us marked "FAO: NAME" and we'll forward it on.
