Together with our partners, we support more than 10,000 homeless young people each year.
At Centrepoint, we help vulnerable young people by giving them the practical and emotional support they need to find a job and live independently.
The stats for homeless young people are shocking. Our research revealed that in 2017/18, an estimated 103,000 young people approached their local authority because they were homeless or at risk of homelessness.
We know homeless young people are sleeping rough on the streets every night. But there are thousands more you don't see.
We provide accommodation, health support and life skills to get vulnerable young people back into education, training and employment.
Thanks to our supporters, we've been one of the most effective charities that help homeless young people for almost 50 years.
This Christmas thousands of young people won't have a place to call home.
Help show a homeless young person that someone cares.
We operate 60 services providing support to young people across the UK.
We save the public purse £20,000 for every young person we work with.
86 per cent of young people move on from Centrepoint positively.
Aged five, Zinnia’s mum kicked her and her dad out. Aged nine, Zinnia was placed into foster care. After the birth of her child, Zinnia became homeless.
But after coming to Centrepoint, Zinnia received emotional support for her mental health and help with life skills to get her back on track. Now she's thriving in her own home and has her dream job as a painter and decorator.
As one of the dedicated youth homelessness charities in the UK, we're determined to get vulnerable young people off the streets.
By sponsoring a room at Centrepoint you can help a young person like Nadia leave homelessness behind for good. For just £12 a month you can help save lives and change lives.
