Story

**OVER £500 RAISED IN TICKET SALES THANK YOU ALL!**

Hello!

As you may know, I've signed up for COURAGE 2, an LGBTQ+ white-collar boxing event held to help raise funds for The Albert Kennedy Trust! A hugely worthy cause and one I want to raise plenty of cash for. So I will be working extremely hard for the next two months so I don't get killed, and would be delighted if you could sponsor me!

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 The Albert Kennedy Trust 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. They help with housing and also to help them celebrate their identity.

Thank you all! 🌈
