The Gender Trust is a United Kingdom charitable organization promoting public education about transgender and gender identity issues and providing information to those affected. It is based in Horsham and Henfield, West Sussex. Gender Trust spokesmen comment frequently to the news on transgender issues. A advice panel suggested Gender Trust as one of the professional organizations from which a person troubled with gender identity issues can seek guidance. The group was one of the 65 groups awarded money grants by the National Lottery Charities Board. It is supportive of sex change operations for children, and has criticised employers for rarely thinking about the difficulty of sex change operations on their employees. The Gender Trust was named as one of the many UK support groups for intersex persons and people with gender identity problems. The 2004 Big Brother winner was a transsexual. A GenderTrust spokesman said of that program: "It's raised the general public's awareness that transsxuals are just ordinary people."
