Is your support for me?
Our support is for anyone 16+ who is trans*.
Whether you’re out, not sure, exploring, cross-dressing or don’t use any particular labels, we welcome you as you are. If you don’t identify as trans now but have in the past, we welcome you too.
You don’t need a diagnosis of gender dysphoria or to be on a Gender Identity Clinic waiting list to access our support.
*We welcome the entire diversity of the trans community including non-binary, gender non-confirming people and all identities under the trans umbrella.

If you need someone to talk, our LGBTQ+ helpline is here for you by phone, live chat, or email.
