Marmalade
Marmalade is a small group based in the West Midlands, which provides support and information to partners, family and friends of people within the transgender community. It aims to alleviate some of the emotional impact and consequent stress for both the individual and those closest to them. The group meets monthly and provides a safe and understanding environment where people can discuss issues and concerns and help each other.
Initially working under the banner of another charity Gender Matters, Marmalade has recently become independent. In February 2015, the Foundation offered £500 to Marmalade to enable the monthly group to continue, and will contribute towards room hire, volunteer expenses and insurance.
