Beaumont Society
The Beaumont Society is the world’s largest membership organisation for cross dressers,
transvestites and transsexuals.
Founded in 1966, the society organises a wide variety of activities that include weekend reunions, a national information line network, a safe mailbox contact system (the society would like to make it quite clear that it does not exist for the purpose of establishing sexual contact), a largely separate wives and partners group called WOBS (Women Of the Beaumont Society), and a more than 60 page quarterly magazine called The Beaumont Magazine, for members only.
Regular meetings take place across the country and all over London every month. Visit the website for a meeting schedule or to print out a membership application form; alternatively, send a stamped addressed envelope to the address below.

FTM London
FTM London is a support group for all female to male transsexuals (trans men) and those
who think they might be. FTM London is run by trans men for trans men, and meets to share
experiences and information with others who understand how it feels to have gender identity
issues.
You are welcome to attend, however you self define (eg transsexual, transgendered, trans man, M to M, bi-gendered or if you are not sure), and whatever your sexuality or racial background. The group has a policy of equal opportunities. Meetings are for FtMs only until 8.30pm. Partners and significant others are welcome to attend for social time until 10pm. The group also runs a number of social events between monthly meetings.

The Gender Trust
The Gender Trust is the only registered charity in a position to help adults throughout
the United Kingdom who are Transsexual, Gender Dysphoric, Transgender (i.e. those who seek
to adjust their lives to live as women or men, or come to terms with their situation despite
their genetic background), or those who's lives are affected by gender identity issues.
The Gender Trust's mission is to improve the quality of life of trans people and their families by supporting them and working with anyone who is affected by gender identity issues, and our vision is that everyone will accept and support the right of trans people to be valued members of society.

GIRES (The Gender Identity Research & Education Society)
The focus of the Gender Identity Research and Education Society (GIRES) is on people who experience atypical gender identity development, especially trans people, whether or not they are also affected by L,G,B or I issues. This reflects the special interest of the trans people in the charity's membership. GIRES is concerned that society often treats this particular group harshly. This includes shortcomings in the provision of medical services.
GIRES was founded in 1997. Its membership does not include only trans people. There is an equal number of non trans people, who are family members or, for other reasons, wish to support GIRES' work. All those who serve on GIRES' Executive Committee are trans people or family members.

Press For Change
Press for Change is a political lobbying and educational organisation, which campaigns to achieve equal civil rights and liberties for all trans people in the United Kingdom, through legislation and social change.

If you're a researcher or a journalist the organsation aims to give you everything you could possibly want to report on trans issues accurately and fairly. If you're a campaigner already, Press for Change wants to provide you with the very best resources and if you're not it would like to show you what an astonishing challenge trans people continue to face even though many fundamental forms of protection are now in place through UK law.
