Join us at the Community Gathering 2025!

We are delighted to invite you to our second residential peer support event. The two-day event (Saturday & Sunday) is for people with variations in sex characteristics / people with intersex traits*. Our aim is to create a safe space for connecting with others with similar experiences. 

The event will take place  in June  2025 in Birmingham. The exact details will be shared with participants only.

ICON UK will cover the costs of the venue, one night (Saturday to Sunday) accommodation and catering. We also offer scholarships up to GBP 80 for travel costs (refundable based on receipt for prebooked public transport economy class travel only). Please get in touch if you require further assistance with costs of travel, for example when travel by train or bus is not accessible for you. 

The venue is fully wheelchair accessible. Please get in touch to discuss any other access needs.

To ensure that everyone has an enjoyable and worthwhile time, we will all follow the house rules below: 

1 – Confidentiality
At all times, respect each other’s privacy. By default, do not share any identifiable information about each other.

2 – Allowing
Everyone is on their own journey. We come from diverse backgrounds. We describe our experiences differently. We have different identities. Celebrate what we have in common and respect other’s differences. Let’s support each other as we figure things out for ourselves.

3 – Self-care
There is no right or wrong way to experience the event. Share what you want when you want. No one is trapped. Take a break as and when you need one.  Honour your limits at all times.

If you are interested in attending the event, please fill out this sign-up form, and we will get in touch ASAP. 

If you have any questions – please write to us at [email protected] 

We hope to hear from you soon!
