“Searching: a film by Spectra”

We’re so excited to finally share: “Searching: a film by Spectra”

The short film gives an overview of Spectra’s trans services. From counselling, to health advocacy, to mentoring and social groups – our services are delivered by people of trans experience themselves in a friendly, safe, confidential, non-judgemental and accessible space.
Head over to our trans services overview to find out more about how we can help.

The short film was made with the generous support, guidance and expertise of The Media Trust and funding from The Mercer’s Company.
