As the transgender skateboarding community continues to grow, support within the scene has become an important part of creating spaces where people can skate, meet others and learn new skills.
Transkaters are putting that into practice with a hands on build workshop at Downside DIY in Tottenham Hale this Sunday, October 4.
The workshop is being organised with Other Skate Co and will focus on rebuilding, extending and improving the small miniramp at the DIY spot.
The session runs from 11am to 5pm and is open to all skill levels. You do not need any previous building experience to take part, so anyone interested in learning or helping out can get involved.
