Centrepoint

We aim to give homeless young people a future and we want to end youth homelessness by 2037. Why 2037? Because we aspire to end homelessness for the next generation. As the UK’s leading youth homelessness charity, we will deliver exemplar services for young people, and use the insight from these to campaign, influence, and orchestrate systemic change. Centrepoint works directly in London, Manchester, Yorkshire and the North East of England, and partners with other organisations across the UK. We also influence government policy with the overall aim of ending youth homelessness. Ever since Centrepoint was founded in a church basement in Soho, we’ve focused on improving the lives of homeless young people. Thanks to our amazing supporters, we’re now able to reach over 14,000 homeless young people each year. Young people that come to Centrepoint are able to stay with us for up to two years. An amazing 94 per cent of these young people then move into their own homes, reconnect with their families, get their first jobs or go to university.
