Trans+ History Week CIC

What Trans+ History Week CIC does

Trans+ History Week CIC is a Trans+ led nonprofit social enterprise incorporated in the United Kingdom as a Community Interest Company (registration 15638690) and headquartered in London. Founded in 2024 after incubation as a launchpad project of QueerAF CIC, the organisation exists to popularise the annual global awareness week 'Trans+ History Week' (4–10 May), anchored by Trans+ History Day on 6 May — the anniversary of the 1933 Nazi raid on the world's first Trans+ clinic in Berlin. Its mission is to commission content and host events and exhibitions that surface the millennia-old history of transgender, non-binary, gender-diverse and Intersex people, and to invest in Trans+ creative talent. Through a core strategic partnership with QueerAF CIC — the only press-regulated, non-profit LGBTQIA+ publisher in the UK — it has collectively raised over £100,000 and invested in more than 100 Trans+ creatives spanning writers, illustrators, audio producers, musicians, photographers, speakers, journalists, poets and comedians.

The portfolio of products and services comprises the annual awareness week itself, the national 'Reflections' out-of-home campaign (2026 ran 30 April to 10 May at Outernet London and sites across Liverpool, Manchester, Brighton, Newcastle, London and Edinburgh), commissioned editorial and audio content delivered through QueerAF, a free downloadable educational workbook (now in its third edition and downloaded thousands of times), ticketed community evenings and comedy showcases (including a parliamentary reception), plus iOS and Android mobile apps. The revenue model mixes charitable donations (one-time, weekly, monthly, quarterly and annual giving tiers of £10–£40 plus custom amounts), paid event ticketing through Outsavvy, and corporate sponsorship — Headline Sponsor Deloitte UK, Creative Talent Sponsor Publicis Groupe UK, and Partner Diageo for 2026. Operations are run by a small volunteer team of around five people, led by Founder/Director Marty Davies and Public Affairs Director Nicole Treanor, with no proprietary technology beyond a Squarespace site and standard event ticketing infrastructure.
