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.

Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, Josh and Anna talk to resident Addi and former resident Andrew about the challenges of finding and securing employment when you are experiencing homelessness.
Addi also discusses his neurodivergence and how that can also pose a challenge to finding and securing long-term employment.
What can employers do to make things easier for young people entering the workplace especially if they are facing a range of challenges? Addi and Andrew have some ideas.
