About Us

Who we are

The Trans Learning Partnership is a collaborative research partnership between Spectra, Gendered Intelligence, LGBT Foundation and Mermaids, established in 2018 and ending in September 2026. 

Our aim is to produce participatory community-led research that can be used to improve services and policymaking for trans people.

Our Mission

● Improve structural inclusion within our partner organisations

● Improve data collection processes between our partner organisations and use this data to improve how they serve trans communities

● Create ways of doing research that collaborate meaningfully with trans communities and in doing so challenge traditional division of power between researchers and the communities they research.

● Develop research that is directed by priorities from within trans communities
