Since Trans Pride N.I returned in 2022 after COVID19 put a pause on our yearly festival we've ran since 2018, we've come back bigger & better every year!

We've grown Trans Pride N.I from a scant handful of events and a small gathering to a week-long jam-packed festival culminating in a large rally at Writer's Square with a professional stage to amplify and uplift performances and speeches from members of the trans, non-binary & intersex community.

But as we build Trans Pride N.I as a festival each year, so too do costs rise - which is where your donations are needed!

To make this year's rally a reality we desperately need money for:

- £3,000 for our stage & sound system

- £450 for BSL interpretation

- £300 AccessoLoo (accessible porta-loo)

Any additional funds raised will either be used to financially support this or the next years festival.

In the past year it's become increasingly difficult for trans, non-binary & intersex people including

- A ban on puberty blockers for trans, non-binary & intersex people

- The UK Supreme Court ruling that woman is strictly defined by biological sex, essentially erasing the purpose of Gender Recognition Certificate, helping to embolden discrimination & harassment of trans, non-binary & intersex people just trying to live their everyday lives.

- The continued inaccessibility of life-saving gender affirming healthcare via the NHS Gender Identity Clinic

- The ever increasing hostile environment for trans, non-binary & intersex people fueled by the endlessly toxic debate around our community.

Now, more than ever, we need Trans Pride. Somewhere the community can come together, not only to protest against injustices but also to celebrate our lives and experiences. Helping to build resilience, foster acceptance, and creating meaningful connections between ourselves and our allies to create a more inclusive and supportive society for all.
