Transparent Presence CIC
Description
Transparent Presence builds confidence and improves well-being for gender diverse people.
They were established by Elliot and Annie Kenton after Elliot’s social transition revealed a lack of support in Cornwall for transgender and non-binary people and their families. With gender diverse people waiting seven years for a gender clinic appointment, Transparent Presence’s support is crucial, helping people deal with gender dysphoria and social isolation. NHS Cornwall want them to deliver gender diversity training, but lack of course accreditation and capacity means they can’t.
Transparent Presence will use our funding to gain accreditation and roll out training to the NHS and beyond, creating a self-sustaining income stream to catapult impact and expand support services to include a counselling arm.
