Another new year, another party!
That's right. We had so much fun dancing the night away to Chappell Roan at the start of 2025, that we've elected to begin 2026 with a night of non-stop classic hits.
We'd appreciate a little money at the door, but whatever you donate we'll make sure to bring...

A little good news!
The lovely Michele Nicholls made and auctioned off this adorable bear (crafted using the colours of the trans flag) and raised £120, which she has generously donated to us
We are so grateful for this gift, especially given how rough this year has been for those in our community

This TDoR, like so many days before, we mourn those we have lost and recognise those who are still with us.
It's our sincerest hope that, someday soon, the fight for the right to exist will cease and that there will be enough of us around to appreciate it.
Take care of yourselves.

The NHS is looking for YOUR feedback!
If you're a trans or non-binary person living in a rural area (like Orkney), then they want to know all about your experience.
There's also an opportunity for vouchers, but the really important thing is you making your voice heard!

Why Orkney protestors have taken a stand against Donald Trump 600 miles from London
The event was part of a network across the UK who say they are "sick" of the US commander-in-chief as he makes a state visit.
