TransLeeds supports all transgender, nonbinary and gender expansive people over 18 in Leeds and the surrounding areas. Unfortunately we can't support anyone under 18, however both Gendered Intelligence and Mermaids do offer support to under 18s in Leeds.

Advocacy

We can help with any problems you may encounter due to being under the trans umbrella. For example, we can help you access bridging hormones, with gender clinic appointments, with workplace issues, housing, asylum claims, or with anything else you might need. Please contact us for more details.

Binders

We donate binders to anyone who needs one but can't buy one for any reason. Our binder library officer can measure you or show you how to measure yourself at a drop-in session or an appointment.

• Drop-ins: 6-8pm on the first Monday and fourth Wednesday of every month (contact us for location details)

• Appointments: Email binders@transleeds.org to make a weekend appointment if you can't make the drop-in sessions

For more details, and for an application form that can be completed and returned to binders@transleeds.org please see this document.

Donations of pre-owned binders in good condition are very welcome. You can drop them off at a drop-in or get in touch to arrange a collection.
