Homeless charity the Albert Kennedy Trust has paid tribute to their patron Kristian Digby, who was found dead at his home yesterday.
Speaking to PinkPaper.com, Chief Executive Tim Sigwsworth said: "All of us at the Albert Kennedy Trust are saddened to hear the news that our patron Kristian Digby has died.
"Kristian was an incredible supporter of our work and had genuine
empathy for our young people and the work we do. It is thanks to
Kristian’s talent as a performer that we were able to raise much needed
funds at our events where he played the role of both ambassador and
auctioneer. At our last fundraiser hosted by Simmons & Simmons
& InterLaw, we remember Kristian talking to as many people as
possible about our work and thanking them for attending. This was the
Kristian we knew and loved: always passionate and supportive of AKT.
"He will be missed by all at AKT and our thoughts and sympathy goes out to his friends and family."
AKT was set up to help homeless LGBT’s after Albert Kennedy fell to his
death 20 years ago from a Manchester multi storey car park, after being
chased by a group of homophobic youths.
