Thousands of young people could face homelessness this winter

Centrepoint, the country’s leading youth homelessness charity predicts that almost 23,000 young people will face homelessness this winter.

Latest figures from the charity suggest that one young person faces homelessness every four minutes,^** and that more than one young person a day calls Centrepoint’s Helpline because a local council has wrongly turned them away from homelessness support.

To bring this harsh reality to life, Centrepoint has unveiled a giant Christmas ‘snow globe’ on London’s Southbank.

Aston spoke to Dr Helen Miles, head of psychologically informed environments at Centrepoint & Paul Brocklehurst, senior helpline manager at Centrepoint.
