UK Black Pride - August 15th

UK Black Pride is the only recognised Black Pride across the world, and this year is taking place on the 15th of August.


UK Black Pride promotes unity and co-operation among all Black people of African, Asian, Caribbean, Middle Eastern and Latin American descent, as well as their friends and families, who identify as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual or Transgender.
The organisation is committed to producing an annual celebration of "Black Pride", as well as organising a variety of activities throughout the year in and around the UK which also promote and advocate for the spiritual, emotional, and intellectual health and well-being of all related communities. Our aim is to foster, present and celebrate Black LGBT culture through education, the arts, cultural events and advocacy.

Why not try and get down to it this year? Statistically, 1 out of 5 students can or do identity as black, let's show everyone who we are!

Supported Lodgings
The Albert Kennedy Trust is best known for our supported lodgings scheme.

We match lesbian, gay bisexual and trans people with lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans young people who are homeless, living in a hostile environment or in crisis. Carers can be couples, single people or families with children.

To be a carer you need:

•To have an appropriate spare room
•Positively identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual and/or trans
•Be aged 21+
•Live in Greater Manchester or London (any London borough)
•Be prepared to undergo a 6month+ training & assessment process
The young people referred to the Trust have often experienced discrimination from their families or within the care system that has resulted in their becoming homeless.

Our supported lodgings carers usually work with young people aged 16-21 (up to 25 in exceptional circumstances) and most placements last 6-18 months.
