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

It's been a while since I did an event and even longer since I asked you to donate, so it's time to cough up those coins and force me to complete this epic challenge!

I am raising money for AKT as they support young LGBTQ+ people experiencing homelessness.

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.

Please dig deep and give to this incredible cause, in return you can watch me push myself to the absolute limit on this assault course (last time I broke my ribs, and still finished it!). Come and cheer me and my fragile ribs on next month if you want to get involved!
