After legal proceedings lasting over three years, Wetherspoons was judged to have discriminated against the claimants on racial grounds and were required to pay compensation.

[3] The Community Law Partnership, in its summary of the legal case, stated that:This is an extremely important Judgment on the question of race discrimination as it applies to Irish Travellers and Romani Gypsies especially in confirming that an organisation can take a claim and that non-Gypsies and Travellers who are discriminated against because of "association" with Gypsies and Travellers can also take a claim.The charity also campaigns to encourage GRT people to vote in elections,[4] to record the number of GRT people involved in public institutions such as the NHS and justice system,[5] and against hate crimes against GRT people.

In one such hate crime incident, Reading University was forced to apologise after students organised a 'pikey night' which the TM criticised as being discriminatory and offensive to GRT people.

[8] The TM challenged Ofcom and Channel 4 over its advertising of the programme My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding.

[10] In 2022, the TM campaigned against the proposed Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill, and has called on the streaming service Netflix to remove anti-Roma jokes made by Jimmy Carr.
