Talking about Centrepoint and Barnsley Foodbank
CENTREPOINT IN BARNSLEY
We help young people in Barnsley leave homelessness behind for good.
From getting young people off the street to giving them employment and training opportunities, we give homeless young people in Barnsley a future.
We work with the local authority and partners in Barnsley to provide support accommodation. Along with a safe place to stay, our services offer technical and practical support to help young people move on to live independently.
YOUTH HOMELESSNESS IN BARNSLEY
Young people in Barnsley become homeless for lots of reasons, including relationship breakdowns and mental health problems.
In 2017/18, at least 11,000 young people across Yorkshire and the Humber approached their local authority because they were homeless or at risk.
