We are pleased to announce that for the third year running, we will be partnering up with akt, a charity supporting LGBTQ+ youth facing homelessness struggles, for the entirety of June to celebrate Pride Month! During this time, 25% of net sales made on our Rainbow Edit will be donated.
akt, or the Albert Kennedy Trust, is a charity that works to support young LGBTQ+ people who have been made homeless into safe homes and employment, whilst celebrating their identities in a welcoming environment. Did you know that a shocking 1 in 4 LGBTQ+ identifying young person faces violence and abuse at home, and around 77% of young people that akt supports are facing homelessness as a result of coming out? Due to this, 24% of young, homeless people identify as part of the LGBTQ+ community, leading to further unnecessary discrimination and violence. akt work nationally to ensure that these numbers don’t rise, and young people have a safe place to turn to; these are values that are close to our hearts here at Estella Bartlett.
Our Rainbow Edit is designed to show solidarity with all our own LGBTQ+ staff and community members further afield experiencing injustice. Whether you are looking to give a gift to show unity with the community or jazz up your own Pride looks, the Rainbow Edit is sure to have the perfect option for you! Now extending into men’s jewellery for full inclusivity, the range features some fresh designs such as the Men’s Waterproof Gemstone Pearl Necklace and the Mens Gemstone Rondelle Bracelet. You can also shop our signature Rainbow Edit pieces- CZ Pendant Beaded Necklace, Chubby Rainbow Celestial Hoops and Beaded Rainbow Sun Charm Louise Bracelet.
We thank you for showing your continued support for such an important cause!
