structure will change in the following months as the restructuring is addressed. PFC is not only one of the leading agencies in the UK providing legal advice and support to Trans and other Gender Variant people, but our reputation as legal and policy experts on transgender law has also been called upon both in Europe and worldwide. PFC addresses both the immediate legal needs of Trans people who have faced unlawful discrimination, or abuse of their human rights  as well as focusing on the needs of society, business, the public service sector and government to move forward in its understanding of Trans people and their lives.  We achieve this through engagement, education, and training. PFC focuses on strengthening respect for the human rights and the need for equality of transgender people throughout institutions by promoting structural change and recognition of the value of Trans people as citizens of the world. PFC is committed to a culture of bold leadership, through innovation in all aspects of our work, by forming creative partnerships, and providing a thorough accountability to those we serve. PFC engages with UK, European and other national and supranational agencies to achieve its aims. PFC supports programmes, contributes to policy and advocacy, raises funds to assist those Trans people affected by prejudice and discrimination, and carries out public education on related issues in the United Kingdom and Europe. In late 2009, Press For Change was awarded funding by the Equality and Human Rights Commission to develop the TransEquality project,
