The Tuesday Affair is a new social group at The Outhouse every Tuesday (did you already guess the day?) It was devised in partnership with Essex University LGBT & Friends Society and is an alternative social group which doesn't focus around bars or clubs.

Trans Mental Health & Well-Being Survey
There has been very little research about trans people, or people with trans histories, and their well-being. What there is suggests that trans people have worse mental health and life satisfaction than many others, but it is not clear why. Trans well-being and mental health are very complicated, because trans people have to go through a lot of things that other people don’t experience, and these issues can all affect well-being and mental health.
This survey was designed by researchers who mostly have trans identities, and is an attempt to uncover the issues that are most important and relevant for trans people, or those with trans histories. Take part in the survey HERE.
