Transgender Network Launch 19 March 2008

The aim of this day was to raise awareness of Transgender equality in the region, the event proved to be very popular and was oversubscribed.  The day was a huge success with a diverse range of delegates from a wide range of organisations.  There were plenty of opportunities to network.  Our thanks must go out to Christine Burns MBE who delivered an inspiring Keynote speech.  To read the notes from the day please see: Launch Day Notes
