Creating Space for Trans+ Youth
About Us
Nebula was founded in response to a clear and urgent need: safe, reliable spaces where Trans+ youth can simply exist, unwind and be themselves without fear of discrimination.
The increasingly challenging climate for trans people can feel especially difficult to navigate for those of us who are young, newly out, or without supportive community. At Nebula, we believe that everyone deserves a space where they feel safe, heard, and valued. We aim not only to provide safety, but also encouragement, connection, and opportunities to learn and for personal growth.
Nebula Trans+ Youth Trust is by trans people, for trans people. Our team includes intersex, non-binary, genderqueer, and gender non-conforming individuals, all of whom bring lived experience and a shared understanding of the importance of accessible, affirming support for Trans+ young people.
Our Ethos
Support
We are committed to providing young people with access to mental health support, practical guidance, and a safe, welcoming environment where they feel comfortable being themselves. Our youth workers receive thorough training to help them respond to a wide range of challenges young people may face. Where specialist support is needed, we endeavour to work to connect young people with the appropriate services to ensure they receive the care they deserve.
Uplift
In a world that can often feel overwhelming or bleak, we strive to create a positive and encouraging space that fosters hope and optimism. We want every young person who attends our groups to leave feeling lighter, supported, and valued, with the chance to step away from their struggles and recharge, even if only for a moment.
Empower
We aim to equip young people with the right balance of tools, opportunities, and responsibilities so they feel confident navigating challenges independently, without feeling overwhelmed. By ensuring their voices are heard, encouraging youth-led workshops, encouraging peer mentorship, and promoting both collaborative and individual projects, we help young people build confidence and skills. While we are always here to support them, our goal is to empower young people to step into the wider world feeling stronger, capable, and heard.
