**Eva Echo** – Director of Innovation for **Birmingham Pride** and ambassador for **Trans Clinic UK** – was awarded the **Trans Community Champion Award** at **Trans in the City**’s gala and award ceremony on **Monday, November 14**, alongside her fellow nominee **Katie Neeves**. This is an award that is presented to “a trans, non-binary or gender non-conforming person that is doing great work supporting trans people in the community.”

Echo was shortlisted for the award at the beginning of November alongside **Katie Neeves** – trans ambassador and awareness trainer; Shea Coffey – manager and co-founder **Medway Pride Radio** and director of **Medway Pride**; **Lucy Clark** – the first openly transgender football referee in the world and founder of **Trans Radio UK**; **Victoria Oldman** – Engagement and Development Worker for **The Clare Project** in Brighton; **Karen Self** – Vice-Chair of **Trans Pride South West**; and **Emily Williams**.

Accepting her award, Eva Echo said: “As an activist nobody ever expects to go into it winning anything. We just do it because we’re passionate, and I do it for those who don’t have a voice, who don’t have a platform, who can’t tell their story, who can’t be heard, who can’t be here today.”

**The Trans in the City Gala 2022 – sponsored by BP – was the awards’ fifth year. It was also live-streamed online and can still be watched on their [YouTube](https://youtu.be/%5F9lKPZmt9Zk?ref=scenemag.co.uk).**
