We are a community-funded and community-led organisation committed to empowering and supporting our members. We are community builders and believe that by investing in the future of these communities we can create a better world for all.
Founded in response to a growing need for community-led specialist support for gender diverse people in an increasingly hostile United Kingdom, Esse House is comprised of a diverse group of associates who endeavour to address the growing need for support for trans individuals facing social challenges in the UK.
We believe that everyone deserves access to basic necessities. At Esse House, our mission is to improve the lives of our members by providing essential services, opportunities and support to our community.
Entirely funded by the community, for the community - we offer a variety of initiatives from our Pee in Peace Program to emergency financial assistance, EsseCamps to housing provision and employment opportunities. Our goal is to empower individuals to gain confidence and thrive.
We provide emergency housing, care and support for community members in crisis from our shared safehouse, located 45 minutes drive from Glasgow, Scotland
