Centrepoint – Charity of the month (January 2009)

Centrepoint is a charity which for 40 years has been helping homeless young people in London, and more recently in the North East. Young people are given temporary accommodation, and are then helped to sort themselves out. The aim is that those helped will then move on and be able to live useful lives.

With unemployment rising, there are likely to be more youngsters on the street rather than less.
