Supporting Gender Expression, from your SU
The Gender Expression Fund is back and applications are now open 🏳️⚧️⚧️
Bristol SU is proud to re-launch the Gender Expression Fund, an initiative supporting trans, non-binary, intersex and gender-diverse students with the costs of expressing their gender identity.
We know that gender-affirming products and services can be expensive, and for many students, cost is a barrier to feeling comfortable and confident in their identity. That’s why we’ve set up this scheme to offer up to £100 per student to help cover the cost of items like:
- Clothing and accessories
- Makeup and skincare
- Binders, packers, and other gender-affirming products
- Travel to gender-affirming appointments
This fund is part of a wider package of £540,000 in cost-of-living support secured by your Full-Time Officers in 2023/24. Linlu Ye, your current Equality, Liberation and Access Officer was proud to see the scheme come back for the 3rd year running;
"It’s so good to see the Gender Expression Fund re-launched this year, especially as it’s been a difficult time for many. I’m really proud to have supported and secured funding for the Fund this academic year. I hope this funding can, in some way, help empower people to feel free to be themselves".
- Linlu Ye, Full-Time Equality, Liberation and Access Officer.
Who can apply?
