""Paul had a deep love of music, which is why we've made it central to the evening,""
""This event celebrates both his memory and the ongoing work of allies and trans+ individuals making a real difference.""
""While raising funds for Beyond Reflections is essential, we also want to create a space that uplifts our community," Dr Russell said. "The event is an opportunity to recognise achievements, celebrate resilience, and focus on positive progress rather than just the challenges we face. "It's about bringing people together to acknowledge the good work being done and the people making it happen.""
Beyond Reflections will host its annual trans fundraising ball on 8 December in Eastleigh to raise money for services and campaigns supporting the trans community. The evening will feature dancing, celebrations, and an awards ceremony recognising trans individuals and allies. The event is dedicated to chair and trustee Paul Draycott, who died in 2024 and left a generous bequest to the charity. Two awards will be presented: the Paul Draycott Award for allies and the Trans+ Award, with nominees listed. Nominations are open via an online survey and music will be central to the evening in tribute.
