We need you to...

2. Donate £5
3. Nominate 5 people on your social media to do the same (remembering to use #distrAKTion )
...and together we can raise £500 for the Albert Kennedy Trust this LGBTQ+ History Month!
Info:
Lots of us have taken up hobbies during lockdown to help improve our mental wellbeing when the world seems to be falling apart around us.
This could be anything from bobsleighing to bird watching!
If you’re going to do your hobby this week (adhering to the NHS guidelines) why not share it on social media using pictures/videos and raise much needed funds to support homeless LGBTQ+ young people?
We’re asking you to show your lockdown hobby (#distrAKTion) on social media, Donate £5 & Nominate 5 people to do the same - using #distrAKTion to help spread the word. You can do this inside or outside, and if you don't have a hobby to show you can still donate!
All proceeds are going to the Albert Kennedy Trust (https://www.akt.org.uk/) who support young LGBTQ+ homeless.
Your health and safety is upmost important to us, so please adhere to NHS COVID 19 GUIDELINES when taking part.
Where is your money going?
The Albert Kennedy Trust (Akt) is a top charity supporting young LGBTQ+ homeless.
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.
akt help with housing and also to help them celebrate their identity.
LET'S DO SOMETHING GREAT THIS LAST WEEK OF LGBTQ+ HISTORY MONTH
