Mermaids works with and on behalf of transgender and gender variant children and young people in England, Scotland and Wales. It provides support to young people and their families, offers training and advice for professionals, and campaigns to reduce stigma and raise awareness of the issues facing young people experiencing gender dysphoria. This grant will enable Mermaids to develop their Youth Advisory Panel, ensuring that the voices and needs of young people are central to their work, and expand their Mermaids’ Advocacy Network Group Online, which is a youth advocacy programme designed to provide supportive, upskilling experiences to young trans people.
