Support Us
For nearly 30 years, GIRES has been a trusted voice in trans research, education, and advocacy. From shaping inclusive training for professionals to preserving decades of vital trans history, we’ve worked tirelessly to listen, represent, inform, support, and empower.
Now, we’re asking for your help.
Donate to Our Crowdfunder
GIRES is facing serious financial pressure. Without urgent support, we risk losing one of the UK’s most valuable sources of trans knowledge, resources, and community advocacy.
That’s why we’ve launched a crowdfunder to raise £10,000 – to help us stabilise the charity, protect our research archive, and begin building a new chapter.
We’re repositioning GIRES as a resource hub for the organisations, educators, and professionals who need access to trusted, evidence-backed tools and training.
Every donation – no matter the amount – helps us survive, grow, and continue serving the trans community.
Could you provide your time or skills as a volunteer?
We’re especially in need of support with fundraising – including bid writing – as well as volunteer coordination, communications and outreach, content management, and general admin.
As we re-imagine our position within the wider trans community and evolve into a research-based hub for charities, grassroots organisations, educators, and businesses, it is an exciting time to become a volunteer.
In the future, we will also need digital information, database creation and management support, and research development volunteers.
