Request Details
Hi, I've had trouble with my work permit due to not having ID in my current name. Work said that I had a month before I would be let go despite being legally allowed to work indefinitely, being a British Citizen. But because I only had my details in my deadname that aren't valid apparently, I had to get a replacement naturalisation certificate (£250) which came out of our monthly budget, and we're due to get a passport (£80+)

My partner and I have £10 to our name and we only have 7 day's worth of electricity and gas on our meter. We would've been okay had it not been for this expense. Thank you for this.
£200.00 GBP

Total amount £200.00 GBP

Expense policies
We accept claims for the cost of medications, food, transport to appointments, counselling and anything related to your transition. We also support trans, nonbinary, and intersex (TIN) folk with bills and living expenses. We do not currently accept claims for money for pet expenses.

If you are applying for the first time, please provide the first half of your postcode and a link to one of your social media accounts in the "additional invoice information" box. This is to verify your identity and prevent scammers from taking money from trans people. 

Please also let us know how much you need (max. £60 per month) and what you need it for (eg. bills, food, debt etc etc) in the "additional invoice information" box.

We don't allow reoccurring grants set through open collective, we ask that you don't set your grant to reoccur automatically as it adds strain to our grant team and can create duplicate expenses.

For our full policy, please read the below document for full requirements when submitting for funding. https://transaid.cymru/types-of-grants/
