Affirmation Station is expanding!
TGV's trans-led community hub and opshop, Affirmation Station, is expanding. But we need your help!
In today's climate, where trans identities are being targeted and erased, Transgender Victoria remains unwavering in its commitment to supporting TGD communities. The need for safe and affirming spaces like Affirmation Station is more critical than ever before.
We're launching Australia's first Integrated Gender Affirmation and Support Centre - a hub for social affirmation, creative therapies, events, and essential services, all under one roof.
We need your help to raise $60,000 so we can...
...provide a safe and accessible venue for community events
...deliver double social affirmation services
...create a bigger, low-cost gender affirming opshop
Support Our Trans Communities
We're moving to a new, bigger, more secure, and more accessible location! This move will allow us to double our social affirmation services, house a larger op shop, and run more events and social groups. We will also be open to the public 5 days a week, an increase from the existing 3 days a week.
To make this dream a reality, we need your help. Our goal is to raise $60,000 to cover the costs of the move and fit-out of the new space. Every dollar you donate will directly support the creation of this groundbreaking hub.
Every contribution counts.
