A helping hand for homelessness charity Centrepoint

4 January 2021

Alpha is delighted to announce the launch of a new charity partnership with Centrepoint, to help homeless young people.

Through this exciting new partnership, Alpha is hoping to help Centrepoint in its mission to ensure vulnerable young people find safe accommodation. One of Alpha’s overarching company objectives is to bring warmth to those who need it; so by the end of 2021, the company hopes to have raised at least £10,000 to assist Centrepoint with its work.

Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the charity has experienced a dramatic increase in calls to its helpline, likely driven by the economic effects the crisis is having on young people, making the work carried out by Centrepoint more important than ever.

As well as helping young people to find comfort, safety and shelter, Centrepoint also provides employment guidance, to help young people kick off their careers. Moving forward, Alpha Heating Innovation aims to help the charity in any way it can through both fundraising initiatives and wider support where appropriate. There will be a number of exciting charitable projects and fundraising campaigns across 2021 and Alpha looks forward to bringing people together to get involved.

Speaking on the new partnership, Catherine Lawrence, Marketing Manager at Alpha commented: “We are delighted to be able to announce this important new partnership, to help support vulnerable young people at a very difficult time. We have all been affected by the ongoing pandemic, but the economic impact on those who are just starting their careers is pronounced. Through this new initiative we hope to help Centrepoint mitigate some of these adverse effects and provide those most in need with a range of support and services, to help guide them to a fulfilling future. We are already excited for what the next year has in store and can’t wait to update our customers and employees with some of the exciting plans we have in place.”
