I can be hard to find Transgender information and support in the UK, so I have created this list. I hope it helps.

If you have UK sites not on this list please PM me or add a post. I will post updates sites list as and when I find them.
Also please PM with any mistakes or broken links. Thank you.

I have not listed sites that have not been updated in a year or more.
