Why your help is needed

At just 13, Jack’s family life became unbearable. As a result of the turbulent relationship between him and his parents he was asked to leave. Jack had no option but to sleep on a park bench. It was so cold he couldn't sleep. it was so cold. Eventually, Jack was allowed to return home where he lived for the next three years. Sadly, aged 16, Jack found himself homeless again. With his mental health declining Jack lost control of his life.

When Jack came to Centrepoint he was offered emotional support and a safe place to stay. Centrepoint also helped Jack gain the right skills to find a job. Today Jack is continuing to rebuild his life and reconnect with his family. He has a full-time job and a home of his own.
