Trans in The City
At NEXT we support Trans in the City not only through a donation but by actively advocating for trans inclusion and creating change within our Pride at NEXT community. We ensure that we amplify voices and allies whilst being diversity champions together.
Trans in the City is led by trans and non-binary people. They raise trans and non binary education and support in business, hold events, work with role models and speakers have a mentoring programme and much more!
There are so many ways you can get involved with Trans in The City. From E-learning to joining events. Check it out by clicking below.
Keep your eyes peeled for more work we will do this year with Trans in The City!
We want our 7th year to be the biggest and best ever!
We spoke to Andrew about what's on plan for 2025 but we want to hear from you.

Pride at NEXT attends Manchester Pride
We had a fantastic turn out for Manchester Pride 2024 and all celebrated in style. With our matching t shirts, rainbow flags, fans and sparkle, we took to the streets and showed everyone what it means to be part of Pride, here at NEXT.
We want to thank all of you who joined us and made the day a memorable one!
