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.

As 2025 comes to a close, we’re looking back on a year of campaigning that has been nothing short of remarkable. And we couldn’t have done it without you – our incredible community of campaigners and loyal supporters.

One year ago, in June 2024, we launched Centrepoint’s largest ever corporate partnership with Nationwide as part of their Fairer Futures social impact strategy. Read how we're working together to give young people opportunities to move on from homelessness.

At Centrepoint, we know that we can’t end youth homelessness on our own – we need to work in partnership with organisations that share the same vision and passion for improving young people’s lives.

Centrepoint has published the first interim report of our youth homelessness prevention work in schools, suggesting the pilot has been very promising so far.

Our snow globe installation brings to life the harsh reality of young people struggling to cope with the loss of their home, safety, and security.

Some of the UK’s biggest financial institutions and companies have written to the Chancellor backing Centrepoint’s Make Work Pay campaign to fix a ‘cruel quirk’ in the benefits system that’s forcing young people into unemployment.

Nationwide, Coventry Building Society and The Co-operative Bank have today joined our campaign warning that homeless young people are being forced into unemployment by outdated benefit rules.

We are incredibly proud to announce that Centrepoint has been awarded the Investing In Volunteers Quality Mark, received for meeting the quality standard in April 2024.

The cost of living crisis has particularly affected homeless young people. Improving access to financial education and delivering it in the right way for them can make a huge impact on their lives.

We’re launching a new, proactive homelessness prevention programme to help break the cycle of homelessness for the next generation of young people.

Moving into your own place can be a scary prospect, particularly if you have had experience with homelessness. But what if there is no place to move into, and you are stuck for months or years in a homelessness hostel, when you just want to move on? This is the increasing reality for many young homeless people, resulting from a lack of social and private housing supply, soaring rents and benefit cuts.

We sent some of our snowmen to protest outside the Houses of Parliament to highlight the shocking number of young people at risk of homelessness this winter.

You might be noticing a few changes to the way we look and wondering - what’s happening?
