The gender services works with other organisations to offer support to those on their waiting list.
Some people approach the gender service looking for understanding and ongoing support; some of our community partner organisations are able to offer this.
Their services will be useful to those looking for:
- Opportunities to socialise and meet other people with similar experiences of gender and transition
- Ongoing support and understanding with gender, transition, and wellbeing
- A safe, positive space to explore individual needs and goals
All these services welcome people with additional support needs and can provide accommodations for access.
These services provide a ‘no wrong door’ approach, which means that if you’re not sure which one is right for you, contact any of them, and they will help you find the most appropriate support.
