Benji Taylor - Community Development Worker

I started working here at Yorkshire MESMAC for the Integrated Care for Trans Adults Project at the start of 2020. I love working on such an important project. I am a disability and fat activist, doing most of my work online at the moment, but I love getting involved with the local trans community here in Leeds. I am a member of the Yorkshire Trans Choir and I love going to events by groups such as Non-Binary Leeds . In my spare time I can be found with my nose in a book, looking after my many house plants or working on crochet for my Etsy shop.
