FTM London
Meet on the first Saturday of the month in central London, often inviting guest speakers. FTM London is a creative and safe place where we can come together, to talk about the issues that affect our lives, share our experiences and learn from our community.
Everyone has their own journey, background and desires. As a group we aspire to embrace and understand the infinite possibilities of gender expression. If you are new to the group you may just want to be around others like you; perhaps if you transitioned some time ago you might be looking to keep in touch with your community.
Our meetings are also a great way of finding out what's going on around town and beyond that is relevant to our trans lives. From arts festivals to policy initiatives, the meetings help members to keep up to date with current events.
Naturally, we have the expectation that anyone attending our meetings will treat the space, and those in it, with acceptance and respect. Our meeting space is accessible and we are committed to welcoming members regardless of their background in terms of race, disability, age, nationality or financial situation, at the least.

Croydon Transgender Support Group
Every month on the second Saturday there is a monthly get together in a local pub from 8 pm to provide support in a safe environment for transsexual people, cross dressers, intersex or however you choose to identify yourself.
Anyone is welcome, particularly new people, and it would be nice to see a few more faces from the past again as well. We're a small but very friendly and relaxed bunch, like a little family really, and new people particularly are always made to feel really welcome. The venue has a spacious disabled loo with good lighting and mirrors where, if you need to, you can change, which the staff at the pub are completely happy about. If you have not been to a TG get together before, and perhaps feel a little nervous, you are welcome to come along dressed as whichever gender you are more comfortable as for the first time if you prefer. Partners, particularly, as well as friends and family members or genuine observers who have a specific reason for wanting to attend, are always very welcome.
If you want to know more phone Rachel (07941 347378), Marylin (07737 85188), Helen (07801 414887) or send a secure message

Marlin trans swim
Manchester
The Marlin swimming group is open to all trans people (MTF and FTM). There is exclusive use of the pool during this time. Changing facilities are individual cubicles around the side of the pool. You can wear whatever you feel most comfortable in, as long as it's safe to wear for swimming. So, for example, it's fine to wear a t-shirt – as long as it's not too loose. The staff in attendance have been specially trained.
The sessions are FREE, thanks to funding from Manchester Pride.
Please get in touch for dates and location.
