Mermaids reveals earnings from training NHS and educators have soared

[IwantToRetire]

Mermaids, the controversial transgender charity, delivered more than double the number of training sessions to bodies including NHS trusts and schools in 2022, The Daily Telegraph can reveal.

The scandal-hit transgender charity put on 329 individual training sessions, reaching more than 5,000 people, for the year ending March 2022 compared with 143 for the same period in 2021.

The income from these courses also increased, jumping from £59,546 to £151,246. In its most recent accounts, Mermaids said it had provided "awareness training to many organisations from the NHS, schools, colleges and universities as well as other public bodies, professionals, and corporate businesses".

In 2020/21, the charity delivered 59 training sessions at schools, 10 at NHS trusts, 11 at fostering agencies and two to police forces.

No such breakdown was available for 2022.

Ffs! One step forward and two steps back

Ugh. Is it possible their 2021 figures were artificially low due to Covid?

I suppose on the bright side, the more publicised Mermaids scandals came towards the end of 2022. They can’t possibly keep this up in 2023. Can they?

I'm not sure many schools or other establishments that work with children would be able to justify paying & taking "advice" from a children's sex change charity with a major paedophile / safeguarding / porn scandal? The challenge is for parents / responsible adults to find out when organisations employ / fund them and to challenge it?

I think this would have been well before the shit hit the fan, when they still had the vocal support of celebs like Emma Watson. I'm betting their next set of accounts, dating from March 2022 will tell a different story.
