In honour of late trustee and ally, Paul Draycott, Beyond Reflections will be launching our annual Trans+ Allies Celebration event. Join us at The Stage Door for an evening dedicated to celebrating queerness and allyship, and recognizing the outstanding contributions of members of the community.

Nominations are open now! We want to hear from YOU who deserves recognition for their work to make a difference to trans+ lives in the UK.

Allies are an important part of our community. They help make the world a safer and more accepting space by caring for the trans+ people around them, calling out transphobia and promoting inclusion in the spaces they enter. Which organisations and people do you know who have shown exemplary allyship? Let us know below!

Trans+ people also carry out work within their own community and wider to further trans+ inclusion, equal rights and equitable access to healthcare. We also want to celebrate them - tell us about the trans+ led organisations and trans+ individuals you know that deserve to be recognised for their hard work.

On the night we will also be welcoming you to the stage! We had so much fun at our last open mic that we couldn't think of a better way to celebrate our community than by doing it again. Whether you sing, play an instrument, have a stand-up comedy routine you want to try, want to share a poem you've written or ANYTHING ELSE. Join us and show off your talent!
