Mermaids - Worcestershire Meet-up Group – this group was set up by some local parents of trans young people and Alec who was already a trained Mermaids Volunteer.  Initially the parents came to Out2gether to find out where they could get support for their children. We referred them to Mermaids as they are the experts in this and have the skills and appropriate safeguarding procedures to keep everybody safe. Once the group started meeting regularly in Malvern we have stayed in touch and have involved them in appropriate activities such as Trans Day of Visibility, Malvern and Worcestershire Prides.
