Lots of people think that to adopt a child you must be married, live
in your own home, be financially well off and not have children of
your own. None of this is true. What you are able to offer a child
is much more important to us than your personal circumstances.
Sparkle is the national transgender celebration is the world’s largest
transgender event. For the last 10 years people have been gathering together
to celebrate with the trans community in July in Manchester, UK.
Over the Sparkle Weekend the community
celebrate with music and events, and have
talks and workshops that are all FREE to
attend. Last year, Sparkle welcomed over
4,500 people to celebrate – making it the
largest free trans event in the world. Sparkle
is a national trans Charity that organises the
Sparkle Weekend, and through-out the year
there are various events for fundraising and
trans awareness.
Sparkle’s aim is to promote a positive image
of trans in the media and provide a safe
place for people to express themselves.
Sparkle is an inclusive Charity who supports
transsexual, transvestite, cross-dressing, bi-
gender, genderqueer for FTM and MTF, and
intersex.
The celebration takes place in Sackville
Gardens, in the Gay Village in Manchester,
UK. The choice of this venue provides a safe
place for trans people. The event has the
support from Manchester Council and local
businesses. In 2015, Sparkle will host a fringe
event to share in the Sparkle Celebration, as
well as the extended format of Sparkle in the
Park over Saturday and Sunday.
The Sparkle Celebration is estimated
to bring £2.9M to the local Manchester
economy over the Sparkle Weekend.
