Coffee Break with akt

These sessions will explore issues important to the LGBTQ+ community and highlight some of the amazing work being done to push forward equality and inclusion.

Each week we will interview a different change-maker, ranging from discussions with activists, to creatives to community groups and charities. These 30-minute sessions hosted by Chloe Davies, myGwork's Head of PR, will explore how we can push forward LGBTQ+ equality, support vulnerable LGBTQ+ people and educate our audience on issues important to our community.

This week we will be sitting down with Claire Linacre from akt, to discuss their work with young LGBTQ+ people who are facing or experiencing homelessness.

akt supports LGBTQ+ young people aged 16-25 in the UK who are facing or experiencing homelessness or living in a hostile environment. They support young people into safe homes and employment, education or training, in a welcoming and open environment that celebrates LGBTQ+ identities.
