We welcomed our Patron, HRH The Prince of Wales, to the London office to mark 20 years of his patronage of Centrepoint.

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.

The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government has unveiled the National Plan to End Homelessness, the long-awaited cross-government strategy on homelessness and rough sleeping.

Mark couldn't make it to a Centrepoint Sleep Out as there were none in his area, so he took it into his own hands. Three years and two Sleep Outs later, he continues to run the Bournemouth Beach Sleep Out!

Helen* attended the first Bournemouth beach Host Your Own Sleep Out run by Mark and his team in 2023. Read her experience of sleeping out for Centrepoint, her motivations behind taking part, and how she continues to champion it as a cause.

Last winter, the communities of London and Manchester came together to end youth homelessness. Let’s hear from the Sleep Out team how the events shaped up and why they are so vital to Centrepoint’s work and mission.

The Aspire Property Group gathered a team of colleagues to host their own Sleep Out for Centrepoint in Yorkshire. Hear form Emma as she describes the planning, preparation and how it panned out on the night.

Vinesh and his work colleagues took part in the London Sleep Out 2025. He tells us about gathering a work team, fundraising tips, and how the experience changed his perception of youth homelessness.

Over 150 guests battled it out to win Centrepoint’s Ultimate Quiz 2025, including Ranvir Singh, Deborah Meaden and Tyrone Brennand!

On 10 February, Centrepoint hosted a Parliamentary Launch Event to unveil its latest findings from the 2025 Databank. The event brought together policymakers, housing experts, and young people with lived experience to discuss the 118,134 young people who were homeless or at risk in 2023-2024.

At Centrepoint we are lucky to have a whole host of famous faces joining our fight to end youth homelessness – from hosting fundraisers to sharing their skills with the young people we work with, to helping us campaign for social change – they give us their support in all sorts of ways.

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.

The Awards, hosted by Claudia Winkleman and lead by our Patron, The Prince of Wales, shined a light on young people with experience of homelessness who have transformed their lives with Centrepoint’s support and raised £1.2million towards our work.
