Happy Birthday Mermaids

Mermaids has been supporting trans and gender-diverse children, young people, and their families since 1995. 

Back at the start, they 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 their 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.

They also seek to educate and inform wider society on gender identity by helping professionals accommodate and reassure gender-variant young people.
