GET INVOLVED
Trans Clothing Drive
Transitioning can be a costly process, one factor being the price of changing your wardrobe to express your identity outwardly. The clothing drive exists to allow transgender students to find clothes that help them feel comfortable and confident, and more visibly themselves.
The drive consists of donations from students and locals, as well as products from companies specialising in attire for transgender people. This means that as well as having plenty of clothes such as shirts, dresses and jeans, we can also offer more trans-specific items, including breast forms and binders.
Saints LGBT+ will advertise when the drive is openly collecting donations, but if you have something to donate outside of this please let the committee know. Likewise, we have events throughout the year where the drive will be set up for people to come along and collect from. If you feel you could benefit from the drive outside of one of these days, get in touch and we’ll be happy to assist.
Facebook Groups
We have private facebook groups for our Asexual & Aromantic, Trans and Non-binary, LGBT+ People of Colour (BAME/POC), LGBT+ Disabilities, LGBT+ Freshers and LGBT+ Postgraduate communities at St Andrews. Here we organise socials and post information about upcoming events for these communities that you may be interested in, plus any other information you may find useful.
