Long-standing Centrepoint supporter and champion of young people, Lord Mark Petterson has been elevated to the House of Lords and took his seat on 22 October 2026.

This year, we're proud to celebrate a significant milestone with one of Centrepoint's longest-standing corporate partners: 10 years of partnership with the ASOS Foundation.

In 2024-2025 councils in England faced £325 million funding shortfall, whilst 1/3 young people were turned away for homelessness support.

On 30 September 2026, the Government published a new youth-specific chapter of the Homelessness Code of Guidance, setting out how councils should support young people aged 16 to 24 who are homeless or at risk of homelessness.

229 London in Great Portland Street played host to our inaugural event, We Have Talent, and it set the bar higher than we ever could have imagined, all thanks to an extraordinary collaboration with Centrepoint’s Lived Experience Advisory Board (LEAB).

At Centrepoint’s Sleep Out, there’s no such thing as a typical participant. This year, we spoke to Strawberry, one of our youngest participants, and Teresa, one of our oldest aged 79, to hear their experiences side by side.

A safe and secure home is the foundation for young people to build fulfilling lives. But too often, systemic barriers to accessing support drives vulnerable young people into homelessness.

In that last two years, Nationwide have raised and donated a staggering £6.6m to Centrepoint, enabling young people to have a home where they feel safe, where they belong and where they can rebuild their lives.

Supported accommodation can be life-changing for young people experiencing homelessness. It can offer safety, stability and the right support to begin rebuilding their lives. But it is not meant to be a permanent home.

Claudia Winkleman returns to host Centrepoint’s Ultimate Quiz, with special performance from Tony Hadley, and a host of celebrity guests.

As a Centrepoint supporter, Mark wanted to take a step out of his comfort zone and learn more about the cause he believes in. He talked to us about why he decided to attend Sleep Out alone and what a pivotal learning experience it was.

When invited by a friend who attended last year, Crispin decided to take part in London Sleep Out 2026. He tells us about his reasons behind sleeping out, his fundraising experience and how the activities on the night impacted him.
