Being a homeless young person is only the start of the story

Every day, Centrepoint works directly with more than 800 young homeless people to give them hope for the future. The young people we work with have often suffered physical, sexual or emotional abuse. Many have spent their childhoods coping with chaotic family backgrounds.　

Centrepoint offers them warm, safe accommodation for up to two years, along with counselling, careers advice and training for life-skills such as cooking and budgeting. Here are just some of their stories.
