Centrepoint

We're working together to support thousands of young people and help end youth homelessness by 2037

How you can help

Every young person deserves to feel safe. But sadly, most of the young people Centrepoint support have been through terrible trauma and are filled with worry.

Through our partnership, we’re working with Centrepoint to support thousands of young people to find a safe place to call home. You can help us end youth homelessness for good by making an extra special donation.

Working to end youth homelessness for good

In 2023, we launched our partnership with Centrepoint, the UK’s leading youth homelessness charity. We’re working with them to support thousands of young people and campaigning to end youth homelessness for good, by 2037.

It all starts with home

At Coventry Building Society, we’re here to support people to be better off through life. So we strongly believe everyone should have somewhere to call home – a place of safety, comfort and security where they can grow and thrive. That’s why we’re thrilled to be partnering with Centrepoint, the UK’s leading charity for young people facing homelessness.

We’re aiming high

We set ourselves an ambitious goal of raising and donating a million pounds, every year for three years, to support Centrepoint’s vital work.

Our partnership is already making a difference

Our support in 2024 helped Centrepoint in a number of ways.

Society funding supported 1,820 young people through the helpline

320 young people supported via the Coventry Youth Hub

1,280 school children surveyed to identify those at risk of homelessness

399 young people supported through Centrepoint Works

Help for the helpline

We support Centrepoint’s national helpline, which offers specialist advice and guidance to young people who are homeless or worried about housing.

Working for a brighter future

Further money goes towards Centrepoint Works, helping young people reach their potential through education, training and employment.

Tackling homelessness at cause

We’re also funding homelessness prevention in schools. The programme is the biggest of its kind in the UK, identifying young people at risk and intervening earlier to change futures for the better.

Close to heart and home

Finally, partnering with local charity St Basils, we’ve opened the Coventry Youth Hub, a safe place for young people in crisis to receive support and find their independence.

We know what a difference kindness and community can make. When young people have a safe place to call home, they can look to the future with purpose and confidence. We’re proud to support Centrepoint in our city and beyond.
