Trans Active Glasgow & Edinburgh

All up-to-date information about Trans Active Glasgow and Edinburgh can be found here.


Trans Active Glasgow and Edinburgh are friendly sports and physical activity groups where you will have the chance to socialise with other trans people, make friends, and try out new things. We prioritise having a relaxed and supportive environment where there is no assumption of sporting or fitness knowledge or level.

  • Access to the Trans Active Glasgow or Trans Active Edinburgh facebook groups and networking spaces for trans people interested in getting active.
  • Regular organised events covering a range of activities and sports.
  • Support to organise your own events
  • Sport and community related training sessions and opportunities
  • Support to engage with sports and physical activities outside of the Trans Active Group

These opportunities are completely FREE.
