We are akt, our mission is to ensure that every LGBTQ+ 16-25 year old facing homelessness or a hostile living environment has a safe place to live.
We give LGBTQ+ 16-25 year olds at risk of, or experiencing homelessness support they need to thrive. We have four offices located in London, Bristol, Manchester and Newcastle, as well as live chat to offer support across the UK.
