Description

About the role:

akt supports LGBTQ+ young people aged 16-25 in the UK who are facing or experiencing homelessness or living in a hostile environment.

The London Services team are made up of caseworkers who provide support work for young people who are experiencing homelessness.

The responsibility of the fundraising team at akt is to engage people in a variety of ways and encourage them to donate to or fundraise to aid in our work supporting young people.

We are looking for enthusiastic volunteers to join us at one of our cheer points at the London Marathon on Sunday 21st April.

We will be there to cheer for a runner/akt supporter who will be taking part on the day. All we ask from our cheer point volunteers is to be able to give a few hours of their time on the morning of the race, and to make as much noise as possible and give our runner a huge cheer as they pass by

Suggested Activities:

Collecting donations at events using buckets, card readers or QR codes
Cheering and making as much noise as possible with our akt pom poms and an akt tshirt

Skills/experience required:

An enthusiastic attitude
An interest in helping akt raise awareness of our work and the young people we support
Confidence talking to members of the public
No previous experience is necessary
An understanding of the challenges faced by LGBTQ+ homeless young people

what you will gain:

Knowledge that your volunteering is having a direct impact on the financial success of the charity and therefore on the lives of the young people we support
Opportunity to meet a wide variety of people
Increased confidence and communication skills

Time Commitment: 3-4 hrs
