Community Support
Each year we strive to support our local community and do so by donating to UK & Bristol based LGBTQIA+ focused charities:
State Binders - We support The National Binder Accociation/State Binders by supplying a number of free binders each year to the transgender community via their charitable organisation. They do multiple giveaways per year so give them a follow on their Instagram for the latest updates.
WeeScotsmansBinderProject - A project where old/used/uneeded binders are repaired and sent out to trans people in need free of charge. Anyone struggling to afford a binder is encouraged to join their waitling list. We have sent a large supply of binders to the Wee Scotsmans Binder Project to show support to our community & help those who might not be able to afford a binder otherwise.
Freedom Youth & Freedom - Freedom Youth (age 13-18) Group sessions are social, informative and safe supportive spaces. Sessions are filled with workshops (on topics such as housing, relationships, mental health, gender and sexuality, keeping safe and much more). Members decide the programme which always includes games, socials, trips and creative activities.
Freedom (age 18-25) Freedom is a social and information space which provides support, advice and social opportunities for those aged between 18 and 25. Group members can gain experience in campaigning, activism, mentoring and event organising. Members lead the group and are supported by friendly and experienced youth workers.
Prism - Bristol’s free LGBT+ Alcohol & Drug Support service run by BDP. Prism is a judgement-free service that has harm reduction at its core.
Trans Pride Bristol- Trans Pride Bristol is an unincorporated association celebrating the diversity of transgender, non-binary, intersex & gender non-conforming individuals, and actively encouraging awareness, openness and interaction.
PrideCAF - Pride Comic Art Festival (or PrideCAF for short) is a day event celebrating independent LGBTQIA+ comic artists, comic writers, illustrators, and zine creators.
Trans Aid Bristol - Providing support for transgender, non-binary and intersex people in Bristol and the surrounding areas.
