Support organisations for trans people

TransgenderNI.com was established several years ago as a directory for support for the trans community and those who support them. We’re proud to continue this directory today, listing the up-to-date community resources here in Northern Ireland. The following organisations are listed in alphabetical order for your convenience. Groups listed on this page with the exception of the BTRC are not necessarily endorsed or supported by TransgenderNI, and descriptions provided are written by the organisation concerned.

Belfast Butterfly ClubBelfast Butterfly Club logo “The Belfast Butterfly Club, founded in 1991, is a support network for transgendered people and their families. By providing education and information we seek to increase awareness, overcome discrimination and achieve equality. Anyone over 18 is welcome to attend our club meetings regardless of where they are on the transgender spectrum. Join us and find the support of like-minded people. Be yourself instead of being by yourself.”

It hosts events by several of the other trans groups listed on this website, including SAIL, GenderJam, AffirmNI and Non-Binary+ NI.
