North Devon's trans organisation.
"Transilience is my connection to the queer community in the South West"
"Transilience is exactly what Devon needs and what trans youth in Devon deserve"
"I wouldn't have known where to start if it wasn't for Transilience"
"Transilience has given me a way to turn my ideas into reality"
"Now I have a support system around me through Transilience, I know that we are everywhere, we can't be silenced"
"Transilience has enabled me to be embedded within the trans/queer community in Devon, showing me that we have a place here"

Our founders are a mother and (trans) son who have a long history of supporting members of the community. We are privileged enough to work in partnership with brilliant young activists.
Transilience was founded in recognition of the breadth of challenges that trans youth currently face. We aim to support trans youth, as well as the loved ones and professionals that care for them.
Our mission is to empower trans youth in our community to have the agency and community they need to live healthy and happy lives. We seek a world in which they are free to thrive and find joy.
We offer CPD accredited trans awareness training, co-facilitated by trans youth
Our YAB is the heart of everything we do at Transilience
Our incredible team offer their time and expertise at external speaking events
We regularly support local organisations who need advice and guidance about how to work with trans clients
We work incredibly hard on events that celebrate diversity and foster inclusivity in our community.
We are starting to provide 1:1 and group support for trans young people, their family members, and the professionals that support them. Stay tuned!
