Supporting trans, non-binary and gender-diverse children, young people and their families since 1995.
Today, we’re one of the UK’s leading trans-focused charities. We provide services directly to trans children and young people, to families, and work to educate and inform professionals and organisations who want to be part of a society where trans children and young people are safe, included and empowered to be their best selves. We also campaign for the things that matter most to trans children and young people.
Our local in person groups across the UK provide safe spaces for families and young people to get together, make friends and benefit from peer-to-peer support. We’re based in various community spaces, working in partnership and constantly working to expand our reach to ensure that we can offer support and community across the country.
Mermaids’ local groups meet every month and are run by volunteers who ensure that everyone who attends feels welcome and supported.
