A safe, warm room is the first crucial step to breaking the cycle of homelessness.
Centrepoint gives homeless young people a place to stay while they get the help they need to move on to independence.
Every young person is different. We have specialist services and supportive housing for single parents and looked-after children; those leaving care and escaping violence and abuse; and affordable accommodation for young people.
We provide 1,271 supported bed spaces for homeless 16-25 year olds.
We support more than 15,000 homeless 16-25 year olds a year.
We now operate 60 services providing support to young people across the UK.
As the UK's leading youth homelessness charity, we run over 60 accommodation services. We work in 15 boroughs in London, Sunderland, Manchester, Bradford and Barnsley. Our services aim to provide security to young people and inform on the causes of homelessness.

I’ve never met a bad young person,” he says. “I’ve met young people in bad situations, young people who’ve had no breaks.”
Vulnerable young people need more than just a room to leave homelessness behind for good. Be a part of someone's journey and help change the story for homeless young people.
We give homeless young people support to look after their mental and physical health.
For homeless young people, a job is almost as important as a home.
At all times, our overall goal is to prepare homeless young people to live independently.

You can also get in touch if you're worried about a young person.
