Join us on Thursday 20th November for Transgender Day of Remembrance for our candlelit memorial vigil, in collaboration with the Student Representative Council, as we remember and commemorate lives lost due to transphobia. 

Our vigil will begin at 7PM and in the Cloisters. Electronic candles will be available on the night. 

Afterwards we will move to the Gilchrist Cafe where there will be speeches and poetry. 

If you would like to read a poem or speech on the day you can sign up with this form.
