Story

 

Hello lovely guests!  This is our page in aid of the Albert Kennedy Trust.

In 1989, 16 year old Albert Kennedy fell to his death from the top of a car park in Manchester whilst trying to escape from a group of homophobic bullies pursuing him in a car. Albert was a runaway from a childrenís home and was suffering depression. In his short life he had experienced rejection and abuse from society. Cath Hall founded the Trust in his name.

AKT works with young LGBT people who have been thrown out of their homes or otherwise been made homeless as a result of their sexuality.  Their aim is to ensure that all lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans young people are able to live in accepting, supportive and caring homes, by providing a range of services to meet the individual needs of those who would otherwise be homeless or living in a hostile environment.

We feel a strong connection with this charity and wanted to work with them in London, but ended up moving away.  They are a small and underfunded charity that could really use your help.

You can see their website on http://www.akt.org.uk/ or follow them on twitter on @AlbertKennedyTr
