Centrepoint is the national charity working to improve the lives of socially excluded, homeless young people. It provides a range of accommodation based services, including emergency nightshelters and short stay hostels, specialist projects for care leavers, ex-offenders, young single parents, foyers and supported flats and floating support services.

Centrepoint is a charity that exists to benefit young people and communities (especially the most excluded, disadvantaged, and marginalised), and does so by being a creative community of staff, volunteers, supporters, clients, donors and partners focused upon the value we create for them.

In the UK, 9:00 is a watershed moment for almost everybody. Conventionally it’s when work starts, post offices, shops and schools open and daytime TV begins.

Centrepoint is the leading national charity working with homeless and socially excluded young people. Our purpose is to help a significant number of such young people turn things around and build the foundations for a more fulfilling future.

In the winter of 1969 a young curate, Ken Leech, and the Simon Community became so concerned about the young people sleeping on the streets in the West End that they decided to do something about it. He and a group of volunteers from the Simon Community opened the basement of his church, St Anne’s in Soho, on the 16th December as a temporary night shelter.
