About Centrepoint
According to our research, 110,000 young people asked for help with homelessness last year in the UK, however, since the start of the pandemic more than three quarters of council respondents (78%) across England have seen an increase in homelessness in their area. Some are facing serious danger on the streets. Many are too scared to sleep. Centrepoint won’t rest until we change that – and we want you to join us.
On 8th October, we’re challenging you to STAY:UP all night to help us to end youth homelessness.
Whether you STAY:UP solo or as part of a team, the challenge is simple: Tackle your tiredness, fight the fatigue, banish bedtime and whatever you do, don’t fall asleep!
You could cycle, walk or hike your way through the night on one of our Komoot routes in London, however you STAY:UP, your one night without sleep could help a homeless young person turn their life around forever.
Sign- up here and join us as we STAY:UP to end youth homelessness: stayup.centrepoint.org.uk
