The Pink Triangle Trust (PTT) is a registered charity and the only one of its kind worldwide.

It publishes a widely circulated online magazine, The Pink Humanist. It also publishes a blog and operates an e-discussion list.

PTT relies entirely on voluntary donations. It has no paid workers and expenses are kept to an absolute minimum. Its accounts are inspected and independently audited before being submitted to the Charities Commission once a year. You can be assured that any donation you make will be used directly by the Trust for its support and educational work and will not be swallowed up by administration costs.
