Every 10 minutes we get a call to the helpline from a young person desperately in need of help. For many, the Centrepoint Helpline is a vital lifeline. This winter, homeless young people are at risk of abuse and violence and we need to be there for as many as we can.

Since the Helpline opened in 2017, we have supported over 25,000 young people, helping to prevent from becoming homeless. However, each month, more young people are contacting us in desperate need of advice and support. According to our research this winter, over 29,000 are at risk of homelessness, so we know there are many more who desperately need our support. We need to be there to take their call. Please donate today.
The Helpline is an important advice service for young people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. With your support, we will continue to be there to answer their call.
"I recently found out that I am pregnant. I’ve been having a rough patch with my mum who I live with. At the moment we’re not talking since she found out I’m pregnant. She’s said she’s kicking me out, but has refused to write me a letter…. I am under a lot of stress...."
