The Albert Kennedy Trust

The Albert Kennedy Trust (AKT) is the UK's leading LGBTQ+ youth homelessness charity.

Founded in 1989, AKT supports LGBTQ+ young people aged 16–25 who are homeless or living in a hostile environment. Every year, thousands of young people face homelessness because of who they are — rejected by families and communities at their most vulnerable. AKT responds with safe housing, one-to-one mentoring, digital support, and national advocacy.

Every penny raised at Queer Variations goes directly toward AKT's life-changing work.

Celebrating Queer Art, Dance, and Philanthropy

The Ball & Gala

Queer Variations treats our guests to a whimsical, gender-bending take on Viennese Ball Culture. Ladies, don your tails. Gentlemen, your pearls.

Celebrating with Purpose

Every bid and donation goes directly to supporting LGBTQ+ people facing homelessness.

Queer Art in the Spotlight

Queer Variations is committed to spotlighting the artistic production of emerging and established contemporary LGBTQ+ artists.

Every £2,403 raised takes one young person off the street and through a fully supported journey to safety and a hopeful future.

Queer Variations works to raise that money by bringing together the people whose visibility, generosity, and presence can turn a beautiful evening into a concrete act of change.
