Every four minutes another young person faces homelessness.

Thousands of young people like Charlotte will be forced out of home because of family breakdown, mental health, and life-changing trauma. No young person should be on the streets and homeless with nowhere to turn too.

Over 118,000 young people faced homelessness last year.

You could help be the turning point today, by becoming a Room Sponsor and supporting a young person to find safety at Centrepoint. New lives begin with room sponsorship; will you start your monthly gift today? 

Your monthly gifts will give a homeless young person a safe warm room to live in and find real support, so they can begin to turn their lives around. Your kindness brings a young person a stable home – often for the first time in their life. Instead of worrying about what to eat or where to sleep, they can start to put their lives back together. 

A room at Centrepoint provides a young person with the breathing space they need to pursue education and career goals. They can build an independent life free from homelessness and safe in the knowledge that we’ll be there for as long as they need us. So will you change a life today and start your monthly gift?

Charlotte's Story

At just 17, Charlotte* was made to leave the family home. Spending just one night in temporary accomodation, due to her age, she was referred to Centrepoint to get the help she needed.  

We were able to give Charlotte a room of her own and real support from her keyworker. Slowly, she was able to rebuild her confidence and get her education back on track. However, Charlotte began to struggle with her mental health so we found the right support to get her through. 

She was referred to Centrepoint, where she was given a room of her own and vital assistance from her key worker. Slowly, she was able to rebuild her confidence and get her education back on track.

“I remember being very, very ill with my mental health and just feeling like the world's all over for me and nothing is ever going to happen for me” - Charlotte 

Charlotte is now pursuing her journalism studies at University. For so many young people like Charlotte, coming to Centrepoint is the turning point they need to leave homelessness behind.
