Young People

"All through my life I've had to deal with being gay, and when you are looking for somewhere to live, you have to be extremely wary. It was a fluke that I heard about AKT. I was very, very lucky, and they got me a place in a gay shared house near college and my family" JAMES aged 17 years.

"AKT has made a big difference to my life. If I hadn't got this placement I probably would have had to leave school and find a job. Instead, I can finish my A-levels" KAPOOR aged 18 years.

"At least I know at AKT there is someone who understands me" ZARINA aged 16 years.
