About Point Made

A podcast from Centrepoint. Co-created by young people for ALL people.Centrepoint is the UK’s leading youth homelessness charity. At Centrepoint, we believe no young person’s life should be defined by homelessness. We give young people the support they need to heal and grow, no matter what. For over fifty years we've been the centre point for change, personal and political. Everyone has their part to play, with young people leading the way. This Podcast has been created by young people with lived experience of homelessness. We’ll be shining a spotlight on some of the issues that affect us. We hope to challenge and change some of the stereotypes and bring others with us as part of a movement to end youth homelessness for good. Music produced by Harry Speight, a young person, supported by Centrepoint.
