akt supports LGBTQ+ people aged 16-25 in the UK who are facing or experiencing homelessness or living in a hostile environment. Did you know that 24% of young homeless people in the UK are LGBTQ+? LGBTQ+ people are much more likely to be made homeless because of their gender or sexual identity, and 78% of all of the young people that come to akt cite familial abuse and rejection ad the cause of their homelessness. This is why akt is so vital. We support young people into safe homes and employment, education or training, in a welcoming and open environment that celebrates LGBTQ+ identities.
