Tonight and every night, homeless young people will be on our streets, too afraid to sleep. Their fears feel very real, as we know from our research that 3 in 10 homeless young people have been physically affected. And as we enter the cold, dark depths of winter, it’s only getting more dangerous. Gemma was just 17 when she was forced to sleep on the street: “I was really frightened. I felt very weak being all on my own.”
Fortunately, Gemma found safety at Centrepoint. But right now, thousands more young people are still in danger --- alone and frightened on our streets. By becoming a Room Sponsor（赞助者）for just 40 pennies a day, you could help give another young person a safe warmroom and the support they need to recover. We know that the right support, at the right time, can change everything. In fact, 94% of young people moved on from Centrepoint positively last year. So your gift could help a young person feel hopeful at last. As Gemma says, “I don’t know where I’d be without Centrepoint. They helped me think about my future for the first time in years.”
Please sponsor a room and make your most important Christmas gift --- a better future for a homeless young person.
Please sponsor a room and make this Christmas the turning point in a young person’s life.
