Join our events

For 2022, we're launching a brand new calendar of community fundraising events!

We are sure that you, like us, are raring to get out and about this year - and raise money to support LGBTQ+ young people at the same time.

For more information or to ask any questions about our upcoming challenge events, please email [email protected] 


team akt is joining the North West's biggest 10k run - the Great Manchester Run - an exciting route through the streets of Manchester. Come and join in and raise funds to support our work!

Currently available:

  • 3 places in the half marathon route
  • 12 places in the 10k route

Join us at the starting line and help ensure that no LGBTQ+ young person has to choose between being who they are and having a safe place to stay.

Please register your interest here and we'll be in touch to confirm your place.


This summer, join team akt for the ultimate bucket list achievement. Just imagine the thrill of the jump from 10,000 feet (not to mention the adrenaline rush!) before gliding back to the ground and taking in the fabulous views – all while knowing you’re doing an amazing thing to support akt’s incredible work!

We have 6 places available which will be given on a ‘first come, first served’ basis!

Please register your interest here and we'll be in touch to confirm your place.

    We’ve put this article together to inform you of your rights and options as a pet owner with a housing problem. We also understand that this is a very stressful situation for both the owner and the pet so have included some links to general pet advice services to aid you in this transition to a new home.
