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

Story

Many LGBT+ people across the UK have a home where they can self-isolate, stay safe and remain healthy.

Homeless people have a unique set of challenges when it comes to protecting themselves from Covid-19, and there are some groups that are over-represented in the homeless population. The LGBT youth is one of them.

There are many LGBT+ people who have been disowned from their family, friends and jobs, leaving them nowhere to go and extremely vulnerable to this dangerous virus.

On top of this, charities across the country are struggling to cope with the increased demand, and will be further hard hit by potential economic problems in the future.

Please donate what you can and your small donation will go a long way in saving LGBT+ lives across the country.

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.
