New drop-in project for trans and non-binary people

Clare Project and Switchboard launch new trans and non-binary drop-in service to take place the third Thursday of the month from February at Café Domenica on Preston Road in Brighton.

INITIATED by social group the Clare Project and Switchboard, TNB is a new drop-in and social support service for those identifying as trans, non-binary, and/or questioning their gender identity or variance.

Facilitated by trans/non-binary people, the group will run from 6pm–8pm and there will different themes or topics every month that attendees can voluntarily engage with in whichever way they feel comfortable. Topics may include health and wellbeing, substance misuse, housing, or even artistic expression or sports.

The drop-in is free to attend, and light refreshments will be provided, however you will also be able to purchase snacks or other drinks from the café itself, which is all on the ground floor and is wheelchair accessible with an accessible toilet on site. You are welcome to pop along at any point, however if you would prefer to discuss your attendance prior you are encouraged to get in touch.

A spokesperson said: “We realise there is a desperate need for more support and resources to be made available for trans and non-binary people within the area, and we see this as just the beginning of many great projects to come. The drop-in will be person-centred towards the needs of the community, and we hope it will empower members of the community to get involved and even host their own in the near future.”
