FTM London meets monthly on the first Saturday of each month at Trinity Unitied Reformed Church in Camden.

We know that coming to your first meeting might seem a bit daunting so please remember we are more than happy to meet up with someone coming along for the first time before the meeting. Just give us a call or send us an email.

The main meeting is from 7 - 8.45 and is for FTM's only. This is because we want to have a safe space where we can talk about anything without worrying that we might be offending someone in the group who may not be trans. We welcome significant others, friends family and allies (SOFFA's) to attend the SOFFA's group (see the 'Support for SOFFA's page on the left hand menu), and everyone is welcome for social time from 8.45 onwards.

You don't have to be a member to attend the group and there is no charge for your first meeting.

Although not every person represented during the Day of Remembrance self-identified as transgendered — that is, as a transsexual, crossdresser, or otherwise gender-variant — each was a victim of violence based on bias against transgendered people.

We live in times more sensitive than ever to hatred based violence, especially since the events of September 11th. Yet even now, the deaths of those based on anti-transgender hatred or prejudice are largely ignored. Over the last decade, more than one person per month has died due to transgender-based hate or prejudice, regardless of any other factors in their lives. This trend shows no sign of abating.

The Transgender Day of Remembrance serves several purposes. It raises public awareness of hate crimes against transgendered people, an action that current media doesn't perform. Day of Remembrance publicly mourns and honors the lives of our brothers and sisters who might otherwise be forgotten. Through the vigil, we express love and respect for our people in the face of national indifference and hatred. Day of Remembrance reminds non-transgendered people that we are their sons, daughters, parents, friends and lovers. Day of Remembrance gives our allies a chance to step forward with us and stand in vigil, memorializing those of us who've died by anti-transgender violence.

Partners are also most welcome at the meetings
The Renaissance group that meet here has over 100 members with 24 to 34 Tgirls (and the occasional F2M) at most meetings. The membership is a great mix of ages and TVs & TSs. If you haven't been to a meeting, do come along and meet us, you can be sure of a warm welcome

Renaissance is taken from the French for Re-Birth: our group was formed to help trans people to come out and be themselves in a safe environment and find support in their journey. The group started over 18 years ago with only 6 people at the first meeting.

The first meeting was organised by Suzanne Dee Gallagher at a friends beauty salon in a small town north of Preston, handy for both Preston and the Fylde coast. From the first meeting Renaissance has always welcomed both Transsexuals (TSs) and Transvestites (TVs).

The owner of the salon gave the group its name – Renaissance.

Meetings are currently held in Blackpool at the The Gynway.

Myself and my partner Petra provide both the Venue and Refreshments for group meetings. The group does not have a committee and remains very informal. Its been a successful formula with Renaissance now established as one of the main Trans venues in the North West.

There is a small admission charge on meeting nights to cover costs of the food, tea / coffee and of course the venue.

The meetings are held on the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month, starting round 6pm.Overnight accommodation is available, recommend early booking [stayovers can of course be extended as required]

In Manchester we meet in Wilbraham Saint Ninian's United Reformed Church in Chorlton, about 4 miles south of the city centre, and we offer a warm welcome to our services and meetings.

Our main service is held on Sunday afternoons at 4.30pm.

Our Sunday service is designed to be celebrative and to appeal to folk from a range of different church backgrounds as well as to those for whom spirituality is new.

We are a friendly church and after worship - which usually lasts just one hour - we invite everyone to join us for refreshments and fellowship.
