Alicya Eyo is currently playing Ruby Haswell in ITV’s Emmerdale. With a long-standing acting career under her belt, this lovable Liverpudlian is now supporting a North West charity for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans young people.
Alicya says: “I’m totally honoured to have this association with LGBT Youth North West. Coming from the North West myself, being a lesbian, I’m thrilled to see organisations such as this. LGBT Youth North West is doing, and has been doing, some incredible work with our young people which I think is vital in terms of developing confidence, identity and a sense of place in this crazy world! I’m looking forward to meeting everyone involved and doing as much as I can to support them.”
LGBT Youth North West’s Ali Hanbury says: “It’s great to have such a high profile public figure as our Patron. Alicya is a fantastic role model for LGBT young people as she’s out, proud and successful in a tough and competitive industry. We’re all really looking forward to working with Alicya to continue to provide excellent opportunities for young people across the region”.
