UNIQUE is a
voluntary organisation supporting trans-gendered people in North
Wales and West Cheshire. This web site is about who we are and
what we do, together with listings of local resources and links to
other local and national Trans
Organisations.
Transgenderism - in
all its various forms - and Intersex conditions are more common than
is generally realised. Only recently are they beginning to be
understood by the medical profession. Transgendered people -
from closet Cross-dressers to Transsexuals following Gender
Reassignment Surgery -
often need reassurance and support from
others with similar experiences.
One of Unique's
prime aims is to help transgendered people accept themselves and
find acceptance from others. We do this both by supporting individuals and by
providing information and diversity training to the wider
community.
Unique has a wealth
of personal experience and useful contacts within the local
community and caring professions. We offer a friendly and safe
environment where trans people can meet once a month, find
support and make friends. Unique is an inclusive group that
welcomes all trans people, wherever they are on the
spectrum, together with partners, friends and anyone who wishes to
support the transgendered community.
