WHO IS AKT?

The Albert Kennedy Trust (AKT) supports LGBTQ+ young people aged 16-25 in the UK who are facing or experiencing homelessness or living in a hostile environment.

We support young people into safe homes and employment, education or training, in a welcoming and open environment that celebrates LGBTQ+ identities.

Lots of young people come out as LGBTQ+ to their families
and are embraced and supported. But that’s not always the case. Coming out, or being outed as LGBTQ+ can lead to young people being made homeless. 

This is the reality for 77% of the young people AKT supports. Sometimes families are unaccepting and abusive. The locks changed. Possessions destroyed. AKT exists to support these young people and can offer safety and hope in an open and accepting environment. We help with housing and also to help them celebrate
their identity.
