This year, our LGBTQ+ group has chosen All About Trans as one of their charities to support for our 2023-4 year. We have made a £12,500 donation and the LGBTQ+ group will also be looking at ways to fundraise to add to this donation throughout the year.
All About Trans is a programme run by Heard that creates space for dialogue and understanding. Heard is a leading charity focused on working with people and the media to inspire content and communication that changes hearts and minds.
All About Trans brings transgender people together with professionals from across the media. They build connections and inspire authentic media content which reflects the real-life experiences of transgender people.
Since launching in 2011 All About Trans has worked with over 700 media professionals from soaps, dramas, and news media.
"All About Trans is delighted to be working with Mewburn Ellis. This support will make a huge difference to our work in improving media representation of transgender experiences, enabling us to have a greater impact in improving transgender representation across both news and popular culture media. We’re really excited to be working with Mewburn Ellis and their LGBTQ+ group to continue to build a better world for transgender people,” said Madeleine Ellis-Petersen, Programme Manager at All About Trans.
"We're delighted to be supporting All About Trans this year. The work they do to raise the profile of real-life experiences of transgender people across the media is something our LGBTQ+ group is very passionate about and we are looking forward to getting involved with All About Trans to support their work," said Maria Hall, Community Champion at Mewburn Ellis.
