Since 2020, TNB Connect CIC has led life-changing initiatives across Wolverhampton and beyond:
Clothing & Essentials Project
Provided free gender-affirming clothing and personal items to hundreds of trans and non-binary people, easing the financial and emotional pressure of transitioning.
EMPOWER Project
A crisis relief programme offering up to £100 in emergency support for food, travel, rent, bills, and essentials. In our pilot alone, we helped over 40 people, and many more have reached out since.
Serenity Sessions
A series of mental health and mindfulness workshops creating safe, healing spaces to build resilience and reduce isolation within the community.
Online Support & Social Groups
Regular virtual meetups to bring people together, reduce loneliness, and create empowerment for those who are often marginalised or excluded.
Advocacy & Visibility
TNB Connect has become a voice for the trans community and our work has been featured by BBC, ITV, and Express & Star, reaching and inspiring people across the UK.
Why We Need Your Support Now
We’ve always done this on limited funding and the commitment of volunteers but we can’t keep running without your help.
This fundraiser will allow us to:
Cover essential overheads like venue hire, tech tools, admin, travel, and volunteer costs
Sustain projects like EMPOWER, Serenity Sessions & our clothing donations
Respond quickly to people in crisis who reach out to us
Continue advocating, connecting, and fighting for our community in a time of urgent need
🏳️⚧️ Now More Than Ever
The recent trans ruling and ongoing attacks on our rights are making life even harder. Trans people are being told they don’t belong we exist to prove they do.
Society is becoming increasingly hostile. Many of the people we support are struggling financially, facing homelessness, or isolated due to discrimination. Now is not the time for silence. Now is the time for action, visibility, and support.
