Centrepoint also works in partnership with local and national Government and charities to pass on our experience and expertiese to ensure that all services to homeless and vulnerable young people are appropriate to their needs.
Centrepoint's vision of the future is one where no young person is excluded from society through poverty, lack of employment, homelessness, discrimination or abuse.
