Become a member

A donation is a moment. A membership is a relationship. By joining BTA, you're not making a single gesture — you're taking up a standing position alongside Black trans and non-binary people in this country, on the record, going forward.

That matters more than people realise. It changes what we can plan, who hears us, and what we can build.

• Membership in a community of people who have made the same commitment as you.
• Quarterly digital newsletter with movement updates, member spotlights, and ways to get involved.
• Priority invitations to events, gatherings, and members-only briefings.
• Networking with allies, peers, professionals, and trans-supportive organisations across the UK.
• Discounted access to BTA merchandise.
• A voice in shaping the work — members are surveyed on campaign priorities and organisational direction.

• Predictable income that lets us plan campaigns, hire peer supporters, and build long-term programmes rather than chasing crisis funding.
• Political weight. When we tell MPs, funders, and the press that BTA speaks for thousands of members, the conversation changes.
• A standing base. A measurable community of supporters whose presence demonstrates that Black trans solidarity is mainstream, not marginal.
• Time back. Every recurring member is a fundraising appeal we don't have to run, so the team can focus on the work itself.

For anyone — trans, non-binary, queer, ally — who wants to be counted in the community of people standing with Black trans lives.

• Quarterly digital newsletter
• Networking opportunities
• Discounts on merchandise
• Priority event invitations
• Member survey input into BTA's priorities

For trans-supportive organisations, service providers, and employers committed to Black trans and non-binary inclusion in their work.
