Apply for support for your Transforming Futures project

After trans people told us what they think the solutions to the issues in healthcare and justice are for trans people, we now want to make those solutions happen.

 

This page contains all the information you need to make an application.

 

We aim to make the application process as accessible as possible. If you need support completing an application, please contact us at: tf@consortium.lgbt

​

What can you apply to do?

 

Below is a list of ideas of the types of projects we are looking for, based upon our community consultations. Projects can seek to improve existing outcomes, make changes to current systems, or pursue different kinds of systems altogether.

We are only accepting applications for projects that are inspired by these ideas, and are enabling specific activities to demonstrate how these ideas might be able to work in practice. You can find out more about these ideas in the full research reports. We advise reading the report that your project relates to (Healthcare, Criminal Justice, or Under 18’s), to give you a fuller picture of the research we did in that area.

​

How much can you apply for?


Applications can be for financial and/or non-financial support. You can apply through the form for up to £25,000. If you would like to apply for a higher contribution, this is possible, please contact us at trans@stonewall.org.uk or tf@consortium.lgbt first. Some ideas for non-financial types of support we could provide you with are:
 

  • mentoring with one of the partnership organisations

  • use of desk space

  • training

  • support around organisational structure

  • comms support


Due to variations in capacity among the partners, we might not be able to offer all types of non-financial support, but please ask and we will do our best to make something suitable work.
