As we prepare to gather and celebrate this year’s Sparkle - The National Transgender Charity #SparkleWeekend from the 12th - 14th July 2024 in Manchesters Gay Village, it’s crucial to recognise the unwavering dedication and hard work of two remarkable individuals: Jay Crawford and Josh Houghton . Over the past twelve months, their relentless efforts have ensured that this extraordinary event remains the premier celebration for #trans, #intersex, and #gender-diverse people, not just nationally, but internationally.

Jay and Josh's commitment to #SparkleWeekend is not merely about organising an event; it's about creating a space where individuals can be seen, heard, and recognised. Their work extends beyond the festivities of the weekend, providing hope and support to the community throughout the year.
