International Transgender Day of Visibility

At Newcastle Roller Derby, we’re proud to celebrate Trans Day of Visibility — a day that honours the strength, joy, and contributions of trans and gender diverse people in our league and our wider community.

Derby has always been a home for individuality and authenticity. Today we celebrate and uphold the inclusive values that make our league what it is - a space where trans skaters, officials, volunteers, and supporters are welcomed, respected, and celebrated.
