THE CLARE PROJECT

Peer support and signposting for those questioning their gender identity or struggling with gender norms in society. We provide safe spaces to nurture and inform as well as providing information to individuals seeking to change their assigned gender. Activities include drop in support groups, psychotherapeutic support, health and social care advice and advocacy services.
