Earlier this week, we were thrilled to host a truly special evening in partnership with long time Centrepoint supporter, multi-Academy Award winner Sir Daniel Day-Lewis, and Universal Pictures. An exclusive screening of the excellent Anemone at The Soho Hotel, was followed by an intimate conversation with Daniel himself, alongside the film’s director and co-writer (and Daniel’s son!) Ronan Day-Lewis. The Q&A was brilliantly hosted by BBC film critic and journalist, Ali Plumb. It was an unforgettable night filled with insight, artistry and generosity all in support of our mission to end youth homelessness. We’re so grateful to Daniel, Ronan and Ali for sharing their time and talent - and for chatting to some of the young people supported by our services. And thank you to everyone who joined us to make the evening such a success! Together, we shone a light on our work and the young people striving to build brighter futures. (fb)

Like many asylum seekers, Samsom had a long journey to the UK - but his resilience and determination have shone through everything he has done, and he recently won Student of the Year at his college, a testament to his hard work and dedication. He has gone from strength to strength since arriving at Centrepoint, where he has focused on his education and done everything he can to improve his English and Maths – with near perfect attendance, excellent grades and a positive attitude. Not only is he an inspiration to other young people, but he is also an inspiration to his support team with his unwavering motivation. He continues to thrive, both educationally and personally, and takes every opportunity he can to better his future and himself. Samsom is our Educational Excellence Award winner – congratulations! 🧡🏆 Award sponsors: Barry Townsley & Michael Rahamim (fb)
