TRANSBARNSLEY

About TransBarnsley

Supporting the transgender and non-binary community and their families in Barnsley. We are a peer support group and cannot offer any professional advice.

Our support groups are for Trans and Non-Binary people aged 16 and over, in a safe and secure location with changing facilities. This is a non-judgemental, confidential space for you to be yourself and connect with others.

Wherever you are on your gender identity journey you will be welcome. We just ask that you treat others with the same respect as you would wish to receive.

If there are any barriers to you attending, then please get in touch to see how we can help.

Why a trans and non-binary support group?

We recognise that being gender diverse brings with it specific difficulties, from the initial stages of exploring your gender identity to social and medical transition (if you choose). At TransBarnsley we want to offer you a safe space where you are free to be you among likeminded people. Building social support networks are vital to building the protective factors to bring about better mental wellbeing outcomes.
