Together, we're able to provide a support network that enables vulnerable young people to start their future.
Welcome to the hub for your Room Sponsorship. Check this page regularly for updates on how your support is helping vulnerable young people move on to live independently.
Young people at Centrepoint have achieved some incredible things.
They all have one thing in common: their futures started here.
You help us provide support that's often been missing for our young people. This network consists of our Housing, Health and Engagement teams. You've made it possible for us to offer 24 hour support in many of our services – giving young people someone to talk to, whether for the smaller things in life or more pressing issues.
Some of the ways we aim to build a warm, friendly environment for young people include staff attending medical appointments, helping to set up bank accounts and fill out various forms to help them build their independence.
We support 15,000 homeless young people to help them rebuild their lives.
2,583 young people participated in our sport engagement programmes across the country.
We provide 1,271 supported bed spaces in 60 services.
69% reduction in mental health symptoms for those seeing a psychotherapist.
42% of the young people we work with have experienced mental health problems. Stamatia Lorentzou, Centrepoint's Clinical Lead, highlights how mental health can affect young people at Centrepoint.
With your support, our young people have access to multiple health provisions and often use more than one of the following to help them move on successfully:
Jack was kicked out of his home aged 13. He sofa surfed for a short while and struggled with his mental health. Here, Jack tells us how Centrepoint helped him move on positively with his life.
All young people have their needs assessed, so that Centrepoint can offer different strands of working for both NEET (Not in Education, Employment, or Training) and EET (Engagement in education, employment and training) young people.
Aged 12, Josh was placed with a foster family because his mum was experiencing mental health problems. His granddad also passed away unexpectedly during his first year of college. Despite all this, Josh was determined to do his best.
