This Pride Month help us support Sparkle - The National Transgender Charity by entering our raffle! Sparkle is a 20 year old, voluntary-led registered UK charity. Their reach extends to people who identify as transgender, non-binary, and gender non-conforming, their partners, families, friends, and wider society which they are part of. Their mission is three-fold: leading the way with trans inclusion; promoting a positive public image, awareness, and acceptance of the trans community; developing understanding and cohesion in society, and to challenge the stigma associated with being trans. They organise The Sparkle Weekend - the original celebration of trans joy and gender diversity. The first celebration was in 2005, before charities such as Stonewall became trans-inclusive. Since then, the Sparkle Weekend has grown exponentially, attracting over 12,500 visitors at the Sparkle Weekend 2024. The Sparkle Weekend is a family friendly festival-style event, featuring live entertainment, workshops, wellbeing activities, family and youth provision, sober spaces, market traders, food, drink, and much more! In 2024 they launched Sparkle Sanctuary: wellbeing social events for the trans and gender diverse community. The priority of Sparkle Sanctuary is for gender variant people to have spaces to express themselves, learn new skills, and gain meaningful connections. All sessions are sober and sensory-friendly, with wellbeing and creativity at the forefront. A hot meal, snacks and soft drinks are provided for attendees.
