Every four minutes another young person faces homelessness.

Thousands of young people like Momo are at the risk of homelessness this year. No young person should be homeless spending the night alone and frightened on the street. You can help right now by sponsoring a room at Centrepoint. 

Your kindness could give a young person, like Momo, a stable home - often for the first time in their life, and be the turning point they need to get back on their feet.

Instead of worrying about what to eat or where to sleep, they can start putting their lives back together, safe in the knowledge that we'll be there for as long as they need us.

Momo's Story

After a family breakdown, Momo* was forced to leave home again at age 20. His only option was to sofa surf with friends when he could, but when this ended he had nowhere to go and started rough sleeping. 

Trying to survive day-by-day he lived like this for a few months before realising he needed help. That’s when he turned to Centrepoint and called our Helpline. 

With the support of Centrepoint’s Rough Sleeper's Team, he's now settled into his new home. Our team were able to provide Momo with a support system to get him back on his feet and restore his wellbeing.  He has a safe place to call home and is taking steps towards a brighter future.

“Before this my mental health has been really low because of this whole situation but since I’ve moved in here, I can relax, and I have peace of mind. I don’t have to worry about anything” - Momo

Momo is now clear about his goals and is working towards his dream of becoming a mechanic and one day owning a garage. 

For so many young people like Momo, coming to Centrepoint is the turning point they need to leave homelessness behind. But there are thousands more young lives at risk. They urgently need your help, so please sponsor a room today.
