Supporting the lives of trans+ adults across the UK is the core message of Not a Phase, a small charity that is working towards a brighter future for the community.

Through awareness campaigning, developing company diversity strategies and supporting trans+ owned business and projects with financial and material investment, Not A Phase aims to bridge the gaps that the trans+ and gender nonconforming community too often fall between.

The funds raised for Not a Phase not only go into these projects but also support the peer support groups and “misfits” wellness programmes that are currently launching in London before being rolled out across the country later this year, aiming to give a regular safe space for trans+ adults to meet, learn and grow.
