It’s #transawarenessweek and we’re excited to be celebrating a major milestone of delivering a first appointment to our 1000th service user. 

We’re proud that our inclusive, holistic and care-driven approach to trans healthcare has supported so many people on their journey.

We've updated our bone health information online.

Our resource provides a brief overview of currently available (limited) information around bone health in individuals who are transitioning with hormone treatments and surgery.

It was an amazing chance for us to connect with you and answer your questions. We ran two sessions over the weekend that were packed out and we distributed lots of our shiny new resources to you from our stand.

\We can't wait to do it all again next year.

We had the best time last weekend at Sparkle, speaking to so many amazing people and really feeling part of a positive celebration of trans joy. Thank you to every single one of you that took the time to come and find out about our services.

It’s been five years since the UK Government first promised to #BanConversionTherapy. But we’re still waiting.

We’re calling on the UK Government to publish the draft Bill immediately and bring forward the final Bill by the King’s Speech in November ➡️ https://t.co/la5qEFJJQT
