Centrepoint provides homeless young people with accommodation, health support and life skills to get them back into education, training and employment.
Centrepoint is the UK's leading youth homelessness charity – but what does that actually mean? It means that, together with our partners, we support over 15,000 young people every year.
Centrepoint gives homeless young people a place to stay while they get the help they need to move on to independence.
Good health is the foundation on which young people can build their confidence and skills.
We give young people the opportunity to complete their education, gain skills and prepare for a career.
Centrepoint campaigns to influence national and local government policy that affects homeless young people.
Using our unique approach, our Sport programmes combine physical fitness with education, life skills and employment training.
At all times, our overall goal is to prepare homeless young people to live independently
