London, Greater London, United Kingdom akt Full time

About us


Founded in 1989, akt was set up in Manchester by ally Cath Hall, a foster carer who found that many gay, lesbian and bisexual young people were not receiving the care and support they need and deserve.

akt supports LGBTQ+ young people aged 16-25 in the UK who are facing or experiencing homelessness or living in a hostile environment.

We support young people into safe homes and employment, education or training, in a welcoming and open environment that celebrates LGBTQ+ identities.

Coming out, or being outed as LGBTQ+, can lead to young people being made homeless. 24% of homeless young people identify as LGBTQ+. Once homeless, LGBTQ+ young people are more likely to face violence and discrimination than young people who aren't LGBTQ+.

77% of the LGBTQ+ young people we work with believe coming out at home was the main factor in causing their homelessness and so it's vital that they are supported in an environment that is inclusive and celebrates their identities in order to improve their life outcomes.


About the role:


We are pleased to announce akt will have a presence at various Pride events across the country this summer and we'd love for you to be involved From walking in a parade or chatting to people about our work on a stall, there's various events and roles available to help raise awareness about akt and the work we do to support LGBTQ+ young people who are homeless or living in a hostile environment.
