Young people need us now more than ever

1 in 62 young people are homeless, or at risk of homelessness, in the UK today.

Every day, more young people are facing the terror of having nowhere to go and no one to turn to. We all know how expensive things are getting, and with rents rocketing up 9% in 2024, it's harder than ever for vulnerable young people to afford a place to live. Facing increasingly desperate situations, they experience severe anxiety and trauma.

The situation is dire. But together we can – and will – help young people turn their lives around and build a brighter future for themselves.

Ben's Story

Ben was forced to leave home and placed in unsafe accommodation. Alone and vulnerable, his mental health spiraled, leading to a six-month hospital stay.

After being discharged, Ben still had nowhere to turn. Fortunately, he was referred to Centrepoint. Here, he was given a safe place to live, as well as tailored support to rebuild his life.

As he settled in and trust grew, he absolutely flourished. Part of this was rediscovering his passion for music. It was so inspiring when he began performing again, and even applied for a production course, considering university - which once felt so out of reach.

Ben’s journey shows how your support can transform lives. But many more need support. Please help more young people like Ben build a brighter future by donating today.

The Life-Changing Impact You Make Possible

Your donations truly could help a homeless young person find the confidence, skills, and belief to change their life in ways they could never have imagined. Here's some stats about the impact we can have on young people, together:

  • Centrepoint and its partners supported 14,000 young people last year. That's a queue which'd stretch for 6 miles.
  • Of the young people leaving Centrepoint, 67% of them do so to live independently. Gaining a whole new life with the future in their control, at last.
  • 79% of those receiving support are very satisfied or satisfied with the overall service Centrepoint provides. Such holistic, wraparound support is rare, and we're delighted to see our expertise helping so many.

Please help another young person leave homelessness behind with a gift today.
