Donate and Support
Trade Sexual Health is a registered charity in England (charity number: 1081552).
As a small charity, Trade relies on donations from individuals and businesses. Our core health services currently have secure (but not extravagant) funding. Your donations help us to develop and pilot new services to respond to community needs; to enhance the work of our social and support groups; and ensure that our counselling service is accessible to everyone.
£6 helps an LGBTQ asylum-seeker attend one of our support groups
£25 covers the full costs of a counselling session for someone on very low income
£100 allows us to make new props to enrich our health promotion activities in fun and engaging ways
£250+ pays for an outing or special event for one of our support groups
£1000 makes a significant contribution to piloting a new project or stream of work

Buy luxury socks
Leicester-based luxury sock company, Pantherella, donate 10% from the sales of their Shine socks to Trade each year. Trust us, these Egyptian cotton sports socks with a rainbow strip are super comfortable and look great.
Donation tins
We know many of us use contactless payments rather than cash these days, but if you have some spare cash on a night out you can find our collection tins in venues across Leicester and Leicestershire, including Dover Castle, Everards Beer Hall, Helsinki, Rainbow and Dove, and Splash Sauna.
Cash
We also accept cash donations. Please drop-in to the Trade office during opening hours where a member of staff will be more than happy to help, as well as provide you with a receipt. If you want your cash donation to go to a specific project or group, then please specify this when donating.
