We offer a safe and empowering space for the Fife transgender community (16+) through our monthly meetings which alternate between venues in Dunfermline and Kirkcaldy. The lower age limit for attendance is 16, but we welcome anyone who is on the transgender spectrum, their partners or parents. The group often has guest speakers at the meetings along with sessions which are considered beneficial to the group.
In the interest of safety and security we do not publish the specific meeting locations on a public basis. Anyone wishing to attend the group can contact us by email.
TransUnite is a comprehensive resource for people in the UK searching for support in the transgender community. Our easy to use, mobile friendly directory connects you to an established network of trans support groups near you.
Kafe Kweer is a queer, sober, safe space for the community in Edinburgh. Our space is open to any that would like to use it, no matter what kind of event they would like to run – from book clubs, to stitching groups, to just a coffee and cake evening, we can accommodate anything. The idea for Kafe Kweer was born out of a need for sober safe spaces in Edinburgh, as most LGBT+ venues are centred around alcohol consumption, and loud music. While these spaces are important for our community, there also needed to be somewhere that sober people, of all ages, could feel that they could exist without the need to drink.
