We welcomed our Patron, HRH The Prince of Wales, to the London office to mark 20 years of his patronage of Centrepoint.

As 2025 comes to a close, we’re looking back on a year of campaigning that has been nothing short of remarkable. And we couldn’t have done it without you – our incredible community of campaigners and loyal supporters.

The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government has unveiled the National Plan to End Homelessness, the long-awaited cross-government strategy on homelessness and rough sleeping.

This week marks a special milestone: the Centrepoint Helpline turns nine years old.

We were so proud to welcome our wonderful Ambassador, Kelly Osbourne to our flagship Independent Living Programme in Peckham.

Centrepoint has been campaigning to Make Work Pay and end the benefit trap for young people in supported housing. For the last year we have been calling on the Chancellor to fix a cruel quirk in the system that can leave young people worse off when entering work. It’s an injustice affecting thousands of young people, and one we’ve been determined to see fixed.

Centrepoint launches a striking new installation in central London: Winter Wanderland.

Our commitment to equality and support for our LGBTQ+ residents.

Finding affordable housing is already difficult for many young people but for those on low incomes or receiving benefits, it can feel impossible.  

The Youth Chapter Collective, which consists of more than 150 organisations, have written to the Chancellor, urging her to end a trap in the benefits system that’s unfairly punishing thousands of homeless young people in supported housing.  

Secure, affordable housing is the cornerstone of young people’s lives and opportunities. The Renters’ Rights Act is a step in the right direction to a society where young people can find not just a place to stay, but a place to thrive.

In October we came together to celebrate some truly extraordinary young people at the Centrepoint Awards 2025. Each of our amazing winners has shown incredible courage, determination and resilience on their journey beyond homelessness.
