PLEASE HELP THE ALL TRANS FASHION SHOW HAPPEN!

Help us make London's first all-trans fashion show at City Hall happen . Your support could help make all the plans a reality! 





Almost half (48 per cent) of trans people in Britain have attempted suicide at 

least once; 84 per cent have thought about it. More than half (55 per cent) 

have been diagnosed with depression at some point. 

More than half (54 per cent) of trans people reported that they have been told 

by their GP that they don’t know enough about trans-related care to provide it. 

(Trans Mental Health Survey 2012)




CliniQ   is the first Trans organisation led by Trans people & for Trans people. Delivering sexual health and holistic well-being services.


In 2010 Michelle Ross, Milo and Graham Reed began meeting to discuss ideas for a trans health space.  The following year they then started talks with 56 Dean Street clinic and began meeting to discuss setting up a sexual health service specifically for the trans and non-binary communities.  More organisations including London Friend, Antidote, and GALOP, joined and the ground-breaking idea developed into setting up a broader, holistic well-being clinic for trans and non-binary people and their family and friends.CliniQ opened at the 56 Dean Street clinic on 15th February 2012.

Mzz Kimberley’s LIFE is the brilliant idea from none other than Kim Tatum AKA Mzz Kimberley, a black Trans woman who wanted to do something amazing to shine the light on the amazing work provided by CliniQ. 


City Hall have agreed to host this evening event,an all Trans fashion show. Every person walking in the show, hosting, performing or taking space in the show are Trans/ Non-Binary. This is something that hasn’t been done before and is a chance for the Trans community to take up space on their terms to stamp out transphobia one strut at a time!!


As you can imagine, we have been in talks with funders but unfortunately there are  pre show production costs that must be covered in order for the show to go on. Many overheads have been covered from our own personal funds up until this point which is typical of marginalised groups with an emotional investment to making change! 

As an ally, I’m making this funding page because I know that other allies are out there and if given the chance, they’d want to show their support and love too. We must take a stand when it matters and not wait whilst our Trans & Non-Binary friends struggle to make something happen that we could be supporting. I’ve witnessed the blatant transphobia and hatred directed at the Trans community as I’ve worked trying to make this event happen. I know that this doesn’t reflect every member of our society but if people don't know what is happening then they can’t help. So this is me calling on all allies to help make this event something special for the Trans community and continue to build on for the future.
