Expense Details

Request Details
I have my surgery on 9th September and pre-op on 19th August in Plymouth but I live in Cardiff and I'm struggling to afford the travel costs. Due to the time of my pre-op appointment (10 am) I have to book a hotel room, which alongside the travel costs and the fact that my job just let me go (due to trying to force me to sign a new, dodgy contract), I'm struggling to afford it all.  Any help would be appreciated.

Expense policies
Please make sure you type your full name and not just an initial. For example ‘John Smith’ instead of ‘J Smith’.
We accept claims for the cost of medications, food, transport to appointments, counselling and anything related to your transition. We also support trans, nonbinary, and intersex (TIN) folk with bills and living expenses. We do not currently accept claims for money for pet expenses.

If you are applying for the first time, please provide the first half of your postcode and a link to one of your social media accounts in the "additional invoice information" box. This is to verify your identity and prevent scammers from taking money from trans people. 

Please also let us know how much you need (max. £60 per month) and what you need it for (eg. bills, food, debt etc etc) in the "additional invoice information" box.

We don't allow reoccurring grants set through open collective, we ask that you don't set your grant to reoccur automatically as it adds strain to our grant team and can create duplicate expenses.

For our full policy, please read the below document for full requirements when submitting for funding. https://transaid.cymru/types-of-grants/
