Hope stops when you become homeless.
Last year, over 122,000 young people, aged 16-25, approached their local council because they were homeless or at risk of homelessness. Many of whom have suffered violence, abuse, and neglect in their young lives and have never been given the opportunity to thrive.
Centrepoint is the UK’s leading youth homelessness charity, supporting over 14,000 young people every year. Our first objective has always been to provide a safe and secure place to call home for vulnerable young people. But Centrepoint’s support extends far beyond a bed.
Our in-house team of health professionals provide much needed and specialist mental and physical health support. Once ready, young people are encouraged to access Centrepoint’s education and employment programmes; helping them to look forward to their futures. This holistic approach has resulted in 94% of young people who leave Centrepoint moving on positively.
Since 1969, we have transformed the lives of over 150,000 young people. At Centrepoint, we can be a turning point for young people. With your support, we can continue to give thousands of homeless young people across the country a second chance. Become a payroll giver today and help Centrepoint’s mission to end youth homelessness by 2037, so that we can end homelessness for the next generation.
