We support homeless LGBTQ+ young people to ensure they're safe and supported

Story

COVID-19 is affecting so many people in so many different ways. I'm doing weekly pop poll tournaments over on Twitter, to A) give us (/me!) something fun to do to pass the time, and also to raise money for some charities who'll need some bonus support at this time. Once we hit the £100 target, we'll finish the current tournament and then, when the next week's poll comes around, we'll start afresh for a new charity. We've already raised around £800 combined between Shelter, Refuge, NHS Charities and Mermaids - now it's akt!

From akt:

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.
