Sparkle – The National Transgender Charity is a registered UK charity (charity no. 1134725), whose reach extends to people who identify as transgender, non-binary, and gender non-conforming, their partners, families, friends, and wider society which they are part of.
Sparkle began in 2005, as the organisers of the annual Sparkle Weekend, the original celebration of gender diversity. Since then, the Sparkle Festival has grown exponentially, with 13,000 visitors visiting in 2023.
