Gender Expression Fund

About Campaign

The UK is currently facing a culture war that is leaving trans individuals without legal protection, access to medical treatment, and the ability to socially transition safely. The ongoing cost-of-living crisis has a disproportionate effect on transgender and genderqueer students that leaves them needing financial support.   

The Gender Expression Fund seeks to address these barriers; giving students the option of applying for gender affirming products. This includes (but is not limited to) new clothes/underwear, chest binders, breast forms, packers, wigs, affirming sports/swimwear, makeup/nail polish, pride merchandise, and books.  

Students can apply via this online application form to apply for up to £40 worth of items, with any data and items purchased being handled confidentially throughout the process. The fund is open to any currently enrolled students who identify as Transgender, Non-Binary or Gender-diverse in any way. Students across all campuses can participate in applications for the fund.
