For over a decade, Jude has delivered talks, workshops, and training programmes across business, education, media, and the public sector.

Their campaigning has reached millions through initiatives such as #TransYouthAreLoved, the largest celebrity-endorsed trans solidarity campaign in history. Jude’s impact has been recognised with Campaigner of the Year at the Bank of London Rainbow Honours, inclusion in the Guardian Pride Power List, Attitude 101 Trailblazers, and commendations at the European Diversity Awards.
