As we’re sure you’re aware, June marks Pride Month and a time that’s particularly close to our hearts here at Tropic. We believe in empowering people to have the opportunities and life that they want and deserve, and so we wholeheartedly stand in support of the LGBTQ+ community this month and always.
Pride Month is a chance to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community, but it’s also a time to reflect on what we all do throughout the year to generate real change and promote equality. That’s why we will be taking this opportunity to support Mermaids, a charity dedicated to helping gender diverse children, young people and their families, with a hope that the money we donate now will continue to benefit the lives of those the charity supports going forward.
Who are Mermaids and what do they do?
Mermaids is a charitable organisation based in the UK, providing support for transgender or gender nonconforming young people and their families. The support Mermaids provides includes a helpline, an email support service, a parents' forum and a separate teens' forum as well as residential weekends and support groups.
How many individuals does Mermaids support?
Mermaids supported approximately 10,000 contacts through their helpline in the last year and they have secure online communities of over 800 young people and over 1700 parents
From 1st June to 31st July, we’ll be donating 10% of the profits we make from our Body Love to Mermaids, who share our core belief that everybody and every body deserves to be loved and celebrated!
