A safe and fun space for LGBTQ+ and allies meet, train and socialise!
To Celebrate Pride Month King's Sport & Wellness will be hosting a series of free events for the King's Community.
King's Sport & Wellness is also hosting a raffle in support of akt a charity who provide safe homes for LGBTQ+ Young people. The raffle will be open to all in the university, and while the suggested donation is £5, participants can donate any amount and make multiple donations for additional entries.
How it works
Each time someone scans the QR code or clicks the donation link and makes a donation, this will count as one entry in the raffle. To gain additional entries, you must make separate donations.
Prizes
Prizes include a Garmin watch, four FitBit watches, and a personalised group exercise or spin class for you and 5 friends. King's Sport & Wellness will donate £2 from every day pass sold in June to akt.
King's Sport & Wellness are proud to partner with akt
akt has been providing routes to safe housing, support and secure futures for LGBTQ+ young people since 1989. We are a UK-wide charity with centres in Manchester, London, Newcastle, Bristol, and we also provide vital housing support online via our digital services team.
To this day, 24% of young homeless people aged 16-25 identify as being LGBTQ+, emphasising the crucial need for our services.
We exist to give LGBTQ+ young people at risk of, or experiencing homelessness or a hostile living environment the support they need to thrive. Coming out or being outed as LGBTQ+ can still lead to young people being made homeless. This is the reality for 77% of the young people akt supports.
If you, or someone you know, is 16-25, LGBTQ+, and needs housing or homelessness support, they can contact us at akt.org.uk, you can also head to our website to find out more about our mission and how you can help!
