akt appoints interim ceo
Shān Nicholas has been appointed interim CEO of akt, the National LGBTQ+ youth homeless charity.
Tinder, the global dating app, have launched their first fashion line, collaborating with London-based designer Chet Lo. 20% of sales from the ‘Lovestruck Collection’ will be donated to akt, to help deliver vital support for 16-25 year olds who are LGBTQ+ and facing homelessness.
Chet Lo said: “As a queer person of colour designer, I think what akt does is so beautiful and unfortunately so necessary. Every young person deserves support and a roof over their head, and for that, I am so grateful that akt exists.”
Chris Malla, Corporate Partnerships Manager at akt said: “We are so thankful to Tinder for their amazing donation to prevent LGBTQ youth homelessness. Proceeds from this new fashion line will enable us to continue our vital work to support more LGBTQ+ young people in need of our services.”
The Lovestruck Collection includes five t-shirt designs and a one-of-a-kind hat. They can be purchased on the Chet Lo website.
