TransAlba was formed in 2001 as a result of a meeting between Andrea and Cath Brown and Caroline Crozier at the Pride Scotland march in Edinburgh.

Both Andrea and Caroline are post-op transsexual women, and Cath is Andrea’s wife.

Over the course of the day, it became apparent through our conversations that although there were plenty of excellent support groups in the area, there was nothing specifically for transsexuals. We therefore decided to form TransAlba Transsexual Support.

Since then we have campaigned tirelessly for the rights of transsexuals, especially male to female throughout Scotland and beyond. Our experience and expertise is now recognised by the Scottish Parliament, NHS Scotland and all the Scottish Police Forces.

We work very closely with other groups and agencies such as Equality Network, Press for Change and GIRES.

We operate a helpline for transsexuals, their partners, families and friends every evening from 6.00pm to 10.00pm, Mon to Fri. You can contact us by phoning:

07961 574880

We hold a series of social events throughout the year, please phone helpline for details

You can also e-mail us on:

Welcome to our site. Please look at the files and feel free to download/copy anything that you feel will be of use to you. All we ask is that if you distribute anything, please maintain the groups name on it.

If you are LGBT and live in the Eastern Borders area, please feel free to contact us for help/advice and friendship

Thanks
