25 years ago to this very week Albert Kennedy a young Gay gentleman was sadly taken from us!

He died after falling from a car park roof in Manchester's Gay Village while being chased by several attackers in a car. Albert was a runaway from a children's home in Salford.

Since this loss The Albert Kennedy Trust has supported 1000's of LGBT young people to ensure because of their past their future isn't affected.

If you do anything today please think about supporting AKT as they begin to reflect and celebrate on 25 years of existence and change! Become a supporter, share the story of Albert or donate to them and help make a difference to the young people.

Please share this story and help AKT remember and celebrate the life of Albert, sadly taken far to soon.
