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. We proudly offer safe homes and better futures for LGBTQ+ people aged 16-25.

Story

I'm running the London Marathon this year, raising money for LGBTQ+ homelessness charity akt.

akt is the only national charity dedicated to providing support for LGBTQ+ young people who are either at risk of homelessness or currently experiencing it.

Unlike their heterosexual or cisgender counterparts, LGBTQ+ individuals often find themselves homeless precisely because of their identity.

Our mission is clear: to offer essential services that cater to the specific needs of LGBTQ+ youth, ranging from emergency housing advice to finding your community.

No one should have to choose between a safe home and being who they are.
