Centrepoint shows some 22,000 young people aged 16-25 will be or are at risk of

hard to imagine, but in England the number of young people at risk of not
having a safe place to call home this winter is comparable to the capacity of a
sold-out gig at The O2 arena in London (20,000), or Birmingham’s NEC Arena
(15,600). In addition to the council data, Centrepoint spoke to more than 200
young people, each of whom have recently experienced homelessness. Read more on
