Every 10 minutes we get a call from a young person facing homelessness.

Did you see our Centrepoint TV advert? Then you'll know that when a young person has no one else to turn to this Christmas, they can turn to Centrepoint. We’re the UK’s leading youth homelessness charity, with a national helpline and over 60 services offering safety and support to young people when they need it most. But we rely on the generosity of people like you to keep being there for homeless young people who have been badly let down. 

This Christmas, more frightened young people are calling the Centrepoint Helpline than ever before. We must answer their calls. Will you make this winter the turning point for a young person like Anna, and give them the warmth, safety and support they urgently need?

Anna's Story

At just 17, Anna was forced to leave home after the tragic loss of her younger sister. Her parents, overwhelmed with grief, accused Anna of not being there enough to support her. She had no choice but to wander the freezing streets in the depth of winter.

Thankfully, Anna called our helpline, where she received expert support to access emergency accommodation. Safe and warm, Anna was able to continue studying and look towards the future. 

"I was feeling helpless and overwhelmed. But Jack at the helpline put me at ease. He helped me get a roof over my head." - Anna
