Trans Hope was started to help make Leeds a more inclusive city by giving everyone an opportunity to ask questions, and better understand transgender people and their experience. 

Who Would Benefit From Our Training?

The Essentials workshop is valuable for anyone working in a customer facing role as you will learn how to interact politely with transgender people. Anyone working in HR or management will also benefit from understanding the laws that support transgender employees, and what to expect when an employee begins transition. You will also learn how you can make your workplace more inclusive.

It is also useful to both friends and family of transgender people. Has a friend or family member come out to you and you would like to understand more? This is for you.

The training includes interactive workshops where participants can get involved. and a Q&A at the end where any questions you have can be asked in a safe, non-judgemental environment. A participation certificate is given to all attendees.
