Story
Centrepoint is the UKs leading charity for homeless young people, supporting more than 14,000 homeless 16-25 year olds into a home and a job every year.
Centrepoint works directly in London, Manchester, Yorkshire and the North East of England, and partners with other organisations across the UK. In 2017 we established the Centrepoint Helpline to offer advice to young people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness.
Centrepoints recent report, A Year Like No Other, revealed that calls to the Centrepoint Helpline increased by a third (33%) during the pandemic, compared to the previous year and more than doubled some months. Spikes in call volume often followed the introduction of local or national lockdown restrictions, suggesting these measures put more young people at risk of homelessness.
These vulnerable young people need you more than ever. Thank you for supporting Centrepoint and giving homeless young people a brighter future.
