About Us
akt is the UK’s national LGBTQ+ youth homelessness charity. Founded in 1989, we operate service centres in London, Manchester and Newcastle and provide support across the UK through our Digital Service. Last year, akt worked with over 1150 vulnerable young people.
We exist because of a simple but powerful thought that no young person should have to choose between a safe home and being who they are.
Today, young LGBTQ+ people are still at an increased risk of homelessness and are twice as likely to end up hidden homeless compared to their peers. akt provides support and routes to safe homes so that young people can thrive.
The Team
This role sits within akt’s fundraising team and is supervised by the Individual Giving & Community Manager.
Job Summary
The Community Fundraising Co-ordinator will manage and grow income from community supporters, including individuals, schools, faith groups, local businesses, event participants, gamers, corporate fundraisers and LGBTQ+ networks.

They will be expected to make shrewd, data‑driven decisions to help manage resources for the best outcomes. They will also be a people person, able to build long‑term supporter relationships and happy to attend events in person when needed. We are seeking to grow our fundraising income by 38% over the next 3 years and the community fundraiser will be part of this growth.
