TRANSPARENT YOUTH PROJECT
TYP is a monthly support system for gender diverse children (6-16) and their parents/carers. Each session costs between £15-25 for venue/activity hire, staff and materials so we are asking for a 'Pay what you can' donation of £3 per child, per session.
Through offering activity based workshops (eg cinema trips, bushcraft, songwriting), TYP creates a safe space for transgender and non-binary young people to reduce social isolation through building strong relationships with peers. Whilst the children are participating in workshops, parents and carers can come together to draw support from each other and our trained members of staff.
​
As the Transparent Youth Project progresses, we will identify parents and carers to take on volunteer roles or become advocates for other parents who struggle when dealing with issues at school.
​
Join our dedicated Facebook group (TYP Parents) for parents and carers for our full calendar of events, booking forms and peer to peer support.
