Lots of young people come out as LGBTQ+ to their families and are embraced and supported. But that’s not always the case, and others are not as blessed and James and I have been. 

Coming out, or being outed as LGBTQ+ can and does 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. And a child is forced onto the streets.

The Albert Kennedy Trust exists to support these young people and can offer safety and hope in an open and accepting environment. They help with housing and also help the people they support to celebrate their identity, thereby improving their life outcomes. 

This is a cause that James and I feel is eminently more valuable than any gift you could give to us and so if you do wish to get us something for our wedding please give generously and support a cause close to our hearts. 

We will be eternally grateful :) 

Lots of Love, 

The Boys.
