About the project:

Your Voice Counts offers a monthly support group to trans adults (18+) who have a learning disability and or are autistic in the South Tyneside area. The group is a place to chat, offer support and raise awareness on trans issues

How can you help?

We are looking for a volunteer to:

• help run the group monthly
• help plan meetings & communicate plans to attendees
• support conversations around trans and everyday issues
• offer verbal support based on individual needs e.g. advice on travel, reminders for meetings, help to read or write something
• help to raise awareness of trans issues & transphobic hate crime
• help to develop and deliver information sessions

Monthly on Tuesdays 2.30pm – 4pm (First Tuesday of each month) in South Shields - location to be confirmed when applying 

What skills do I need?

We would love to hear from people who:

• have a friendly & positive outlook
•  have good communication & listening skills
• are kind, helpful & caring
• are passionate about making a difference to the lives of others
• experience of supporting people is desirable but not essential
• experience of trans issues is essential.
