Your support means young people can look forward with hope, to a future free from homelessness.
On 4 April 2025, we’re taking the time to celebrate you – our wonderful supporters. Our work would not be possible without your generous support.
As a token of our appreciation, we have recorded a short video offering a glimpse into the impact your support has on thousands of young people every year. On behalf of everyone at Centrepoint, thank you – for helping young people reclaim their futures.
Ellie and Joe raised £1,180 for Centrepoint at their wedding.
"We were incredibly fortunate to already live together before the wedding, so we wanted to take the opportunity to support the amazing work that Centrepoint does to ensure that no one has to experience homelessness."
The football club have raised over £130 by hosting a pyjama training session.
“At Lancaster University Women’s Football Club, we are passionate about making an impact beyond the pitch and are thrilled that we can support so many wonderful charities. Last term, we ditched our usual kits for a pyjama training session to raise money for Centrepoint and their mission to end youth homelessness.
We believe that every young person deserves a safe place to call home, and we’re proud to contribute to such an inspiring cause. Thank you for all your hard work.
“To the young people that Centrepoint supports: we admire your resilience and courage. No matter how tough things get, there are people who care about you and believe in your future. “
The production company has generously supported us for three years with their Christmas production of A Sherlock Carol, raising over £27,660! A huge thank you to all cast, crew, attendees and everyone who was involved in the production.
“For our third year of A Sherlock Carol at the Marylebone Theatre, we’re delighted to be supporting Centrepoint’s crucial work once again in the spirit of our play's enduring message of charity, compassion, and generosity in hard times."
A big thank you to the Thompson Family Charitable Trust who have been supporting Centrepoint since 2015. Thanks to their continued support, we’ve provided mental health support to hundreds of young people across London. Last year, 8 in 10 young people said that psychotherapy had a positive impact on them. These results are only possible thanks to supporters like the Thompson Family Charitable Trust.
More recently, the Trust has extended their support to helping young people develop their education and vocational skills, setting them on the pathway to employment. Thank you to the Thompson Family Charitable Trust – your dedication to helping young people is truly transforming lives.
We’re incredibly proud to have launched Centrepoint’s largest corporate partnership to date with Nationwide, as part of their Fairer Futures Programme. Over the next three years, our partnership will support 3,500 young people to help them take steps towards independence and a home of their own.
In our first year together, the generosity of Nationwide customers and colleagues has already made a significant impact to young people across the country. With over £3 million donated so far, these funds have refurbished Centrepoint accommodation, supported smaller youth homelessness charities in our partner network, and funded deposits for young people moving into the private rental sector.
They have also supported the launch of ‘Style Your Space’, helping young people personalise their homes, and contributed to the development of affordable housing through our Independent Living Programme.
We have been thrilled to have Nationwide as the headline sponsor of Sleep Out and have been truly inspired by their colleagues’ commitment to fundraising and raising awareness across admin sites and branches.
“Everyone deserves a fair chance in life, but not everyone gets dealt a fair hand. That’s why we’re proud to support Centrepoint as part of our Fairer Futures strategy, which helps tackle some of Britain’s biggest societal issues – making a meaningful difference to the lives of young people facing homelessness in Manchester, London, and across the UK” - Charlotte Kensett, Director of Customer Experience and Social Impact at Nationwide.
Thank you Nationwide for an amazing first year!
Since April 2023, Coventry Building Society have partnered with Centrepoint to help end youth homelessness by 2037. They have committed to raising £1million a year to support our Helpline, Education, Training and Employment team, and our prevention work with children in schools, as well as supporting the opening of a youth hub in Coventry.
This year, not only did they raise the £1million as planned, take part in sponsored walks and Sleep Out events, but they have also donated an additional £1million to Centrepoint to fund the development of genuinely affordable housing in Manchester.
We couldn’t be more grateful to Coventry Building Society for their commitment to ending youth homelessness; we couldn’t do it without you!
Centrepoint is honoured and grateful to have been working with Herbert Smith Freehills for over 20 years. Proving the value of partnerships that go beyond fundraising, Herbert Smith Freehills are a key funder and delivery partner of Centrepoint’s Legal Clinic, which enables young people to access legal advice on a range of issues, equipping them with the knowledge they need to self-advocate and the confidence to challenge decisions.
Thanks to our collaborative efforts, at the 2024 LawWorks ProBono Awards, Centrepoint's Legal Clinic came runner-up for most effective pro bono legal service in the country.
This crucial pillar of our support framework would not be possible without the passion and commitment of Herbert Smith Freehills colleagues, who are offering their time and expertise towards providing young people with access to justice. We are delighted to have Herbert Smith Freehills as a companion on our journey to end youth homelessness for good.
mydeposits’ first year in partnership with Centrepoint has been nothing short of outstanding. The government-authorised deposit protection scheme has empowered tenants to support homeless young people by offering them a choice to donate any interest earned on their deposits at the end of their tenancy. This initiative has surpassed all expectations and has raised over £200,000 in under a year!
Beyond this, mydeposits have further demonstrated their commitment to Centrepoint through sponsorship, staff fundraising and volunteering. In November 2024, they joined one of our Sleep Out events as a Silver Sponsor and a team of seven bravely took on the challenge, raising an additional £10,980. Then, in December 2024, two groups of volunteers generously gave their time to decorate six of our accommodation services for Christmas, ensuring residents felt valued and supported over the festive season.
Colleagues from across the business have shown unwavering dedication to Centrepoint, and we’re excited to continue working together and collaborating on new ways to support homeless young people.
“This collaboration aligns with mydeposits' commitment to corporate social responsibility and giving back to the communities we serve. We wanted to ensure that any money donated went directly to the services and support Centrepoint provide to vulnerable and homeless young people and where we could see the direct difference these donations make. As an employer of young people, we firmly believe that everyone should be given the chance to succeed regardless as to their background and circumstances and Centrepoint fully aligns to our values” – Eddie Hooker, CEO of mydeposits.
