Canterbury Trans Network

Us

We are a mutual aid network and social community open to Transgender, Non Binary, and Intersex (TNBI) adults (Over 18) and any adults questioning their gender identity. This also includes people considering or going through detransition. We are here to help, not to judge.

We offer a sober space serving tea, coffee, biscuits and occasionally cake. We understand that the LGBT scene can often be focused around alcohol, which can turn into a problem for some, but we may also occasionally have an event that does meet at a pub.

Coffee and cake

Our Aim

We're here to provide a safe space to support one another, make friends, and where appropriate, give advice.  You’re welcome to present in any gender role that is comfortable for you. No matter how you present, you will always be addressed with your preferred name and pronouns.

How You Can Join Us

There is a wealth of information on our Facebook page, but we understand that Facebook can be an unwelcoming place for some people. That's one reason this website was created. We are also on Instagram, although we're the first to admit we need to post more frequently!

If you want to ask a direct question, you can always reach us via email.
