We’re proud to support Not A Phase, a trans-led, nationwide charity committed to uplifting and improving the lives of trans+ adults across the UK with a £5k donation.
Through awareness campaigns, social projects and funding trans-led initiatives, Not A Phase is building a more inclusive and supportive society for the trans+ and gender non-conforming community. They are dedicated to creating thriving spaces where trans+ individuals can feel seen, supported and celebrated, with their vital work challenging stigma, building community, and ensuring trans+ voices are heard and valued.
Not A Phase currently run a range of impactful services that provide safe spaces, peer support, and community connection. For example:
£100 funds a weekly Misfits session for 15 people, offering a welcoming environment for trans+ adults to connect and share.
As well as supporting Not a Phase’s current initiatives, we’re looking forward to collaborating with them in the development of further programs and services to support trans+ adults.
