Every day, our aim is to give homeless young people a future. Our long-term goal is to end 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 15,000 homeless young people each year.
The homeless young people that come to Centrepoint stay with us for up to two years. An amazing 88 per cent then move into their own homes, connect back with their families, get their first jobs or go to university.
We provide 1,107 bed spaces for homeless young people.
We now operate 60 services providing support to young people across the UK.
We focus on areas of policy including housing, family and health.
