Supporting trans, non-binary and intersex adults in Sussex
The Clare Project began in 2000 when a group of trans women started meeting in the back room of a hairdressing salon to discuss issues affecting their local community. We are now a registered charity run by and for trans, non-binary, gender-variant and gender-questioning people in Brighton, Hove and East Sussex. We run psychosocial support groups, information sessions, workshops and excursions, as well as providing information and training for individuals and organisations on community needs, and connecting people to affirmative peer support, psychotherapy and healthcare. We also offer some support and advocacy for people who are intersex / have variations in their biological sex characteristics.

You need not be a cook or a foodie. But we would like to invite you to come along and meet up regularly, joining together as a group to prepare a shared meal and to meet and welcome community connection in a kitchen or picnic space. After we have prepared and shared a meal together, we will stay on and share group connection in a circle of conversation. This group aims to enable you to practice greater kindness towards yourself and others. You may have skills or insights that you might like to ask to share. |

In response to the Covid-19 pandemic, we have started running some of our core services online as well.

They also run in the evening, giving people who work 9-5 the opportunity to join us more easily. The online socials run fortnightly and are spaces where trans, non-binary, intersex, gender-variant and gender-questioning people can come along to connect with each other, chat and find out more about local support services. You do not need to inform us before coming along, but if you are feeling nervous, please do feel free to get in touch with us and we can arrange for you to meet with a facilitator beforehand who answer your questions.
