Reading Pride’s volunteer-led project MyUmbrella LGBT+ organises the annual Trans Day of Remembrance (TDoR) Vigil in Reading and across the Thames Valley. This year, we continue with the film-presentation format, designed not only to improve accessibility but also to provide a wider platform for speakers and to deliver meaningful educational and awareness content in line with MyUmbrella’s core aims and objectives.

As part of an LGBTQ+ charity, we celebrate the diversity within the trans* community while recognising the urgent need to stand together and advocate for greater rights and equality, both here in the UK and globally.

As in previous years, the majority of those lost to the ongoing epidemic of fatal anti-trans violence are people of colour, particularly Black trans* women. The first TDoR vigil in Reading was held in 2015 and drew a large, diverse attendance from the trans* community and its allies. Since 2022, we have also worked in partnership with Newbury Pride.
