I'm raising money for Gendered Intelligence to take young trans people on two camping trips this summer, which Gendered Intelligence has done for the last 6 years.
Gendered Intelligence run two camping trips a year, which are really popular with young people. Last year 140 young people applied for the 70 places available. This is an opportunity for young trans people to take part in activities and spend time with other trans people, build friendships and to have their own community. One young person who attended GI's camping trip says: "Camp was a place I could be myself, a place where I didn’t worry about gender or the world outside, a place to forget about my problems for 4 days".
Gendered Intelligence (GI) is a not-for-profit Community Interest Company whose mission is to increase understanding of gender diversity through creative ways. GI aims to increase the quality of trans people’s life experiences, especially those of young trans people, to increase the visibility of trans people’s lives, and to raise awareness of trans people’s needs, especially those of young trans people, across the UK and beyond.
It costs £345 for each young person to go on a trip. I am setting this amount as my fundraising target.
Please help me raise money for this important cause, by donating to my second year in a row half-marathon efforts (I promised myself that last year was the last time and look at me doing it again!). Everyone is welcome to come and watch me effortlessly jog (or crawl) through the finishing line on 30th April. After the marathon we are having a picnic on a field next to the start/finish point, supporters are welcome to join us for a post-run chill!
