About this service

We have a fortnightly social group for trans, non-binary and gender-diverse young people and those who are questioning their gender.

It's a safe space for you to talk about what's on your mind. Transcend is also a fun and relaxed space to socialise with other trans, non-binary and gender diverse people. We meet on Zoom every other week from 6:00pm - 8:00pm. Even if you’re not sure of your gender yet, you are very welcome to join.
