Misfits has helped me feel so much more confident in my body, being able to work out with other trans people. It’s also made me feel more connected to my community and helped me make so many new friends

Trans+Resources & News

Ever needed advice or support on a certain topic or task? We’ve compiled some handy resources to help guide you through your transition!

Socials/Activities

Our ‘Socials’ were born out of the need to combat the isolation and loneliness so often felt within the trans+ community, aiming to provide a way of connecting the community in a safe space or through a shared activity!

We've partnered with local trans+ groups, such as Transkaters, as well as running our own socials to unite the community in our active locations! If you're looking to make new friends or socialise with those in a similar situation as you, head to our Calendar at the link below to find out what we've got on this month!
