Tonight we're expecting a visit from Tracie at the sk:n clinic in Esher. She'll be talking about some of the work that they've done and services that they offer that might be of interest to transgender people. In the email that Tracie sent, she mentioned: 
"We offer hair laser removal, which is something that potentially could benefit your members tremendously.
We have treated transgender clients in the past who have had treatments on the NHS and those who have paid privately. We have a wealth of experience and have doctors and nurses available also. Each clinic has a medical director and we are CQC registered.
We could come along and explain the treatment and the service we provide and answer any questions in groups or one to one."

Tonight we're expecting a visit from Harri, Elisha, Evie, Nate, Alex and Terrell who are students at the University for Creative Arts (UCA) who are making a documentary film as part of their course work. Harri wrote to me to say:
"We have been given a brief to create a 10 minute documentary, and my group wanted to document the community between trans individuals. As a trans student myself, this topic is close to my heart.I was wondering if your organisation would be open to being the subject of our documentary? Or perhaps if you know of individual members who would be open to discussing the trans community?" "As we are focusing on community, it'd be lovely to explore the relationships Surrey Swans builds and how it has helped individuals. We would love to conduct interviews with any member who would be happy to be filmed.
We'd also be exploring how people experience the difference between a tight-knit trans community such as Surrey Swans, and also the trans community as a wider concept."
