mermaids
Leeds
Mermaids has been supporting transgender, nonbinary and gender-diverse children,
young people, and their families since 1995. Back at the start, we were a small
group of concerned parents sitting around the kitchen table, coming together to
share experiences, find answers and look for ways to keep our children safe and
happy. Today, Mermaids has evolved into one of the UK’s leading LGBTQ+
charities, empowering thousands of people with its secure online communities,
local community groups, helpline services, web resources, events and residential
weekends. We also seek to educate and inform wider society on gender identity by
helping professionals accommodate and reassure gender-diverse young people.
