Founded in 1989, akt is the UK’s national LGBTQ+ youth homelessness charity. We provide safe homes, mentoring and support to LGBTQ+ young people aged 16-25 in the UK, who are facing or experiencing homelessness or living in a hostile environment, ensuring that no young person has to choose between a safe home and being who they are.
Our small but growing team is spread across Bristol, London, Manchester and Newcastle.
We're really passionate about what we do and support around 2,000 young people who reach out to us each year. You can expect a friendly, inclusive and supportive working environment with great benefits and opportunities for development.
