Key Funding Area
Transgender, Non-Binary and Gender Diverse Advocacy
We recognise the incredibly difficult time being faced by trans, gender diverse and non-binary people right now, and made the decision to use our annual fundraising campaign to raise funds for Transcend Australia, towards their ambition to develop a National Youth Action Program alongside a National Parent Advocacy Program to provide opportunities for both youth and parents to take positive action in countering the negative messaging and to address the disinformation about their lives.
