We are finally launching our Gender Expression Fund!
Gender Expression and presentation is an integral part of one's identity. As a community driven to create a safe space for all students, the Student's Union is establishing a Gender Expression Fund, to provide financial assistance for students to purchase items that will make them comfortable with their gender presentation and identity.
This fund will provide funding for:
This fund does not include costs of personal GP or counselling appointments, or gender affirming surgeries. We recommend having a reasonable need for expenses to be covered by the fund. Once the form has been submitted it will be review by a Student Officer, a representative from the Trans and LGBTQ+ Forum, and supported by our Advice Service.
Please be advised that you can only apply to this fund once a year for up to £100, applications will be reviewed on the first Friday of every month and we will aim to let you know you are successful and have the money sent to your bank account within one week.
The only person with access your personal data will anonymise any information you have provided before passing it on to the aforementioned panel, this will allow each application to be considered fully and fairly.
