The Bright Future Initiative - a £1.5 million, three-year partnership - will fund transformational support for young people experiencing homelessness, with a focus on creating Psychologically Informed Environments (PIE). These spaces are designed to offer tailored support, helping young people overcome trauma, build resilience and move toward independence.

This marks the first charity partnership for the Card Factory Foundation, which is based in Wakefield, and will see it become the sole funder of key Centrepoint projects, including one-to-one therapy services and specialist support workers within the PIE team.

As part of the partnership, the Foundation will also become Centrepoint's official Christmas Partner, donating £25,000 annually toward the charity's festive gift drive. This annual contribution is included within the overall £1.5 million commitment and will ensure thousands of young people receive a meaningful gift on Christmas Day, a moment of dignity and celebration at a time that can be especially difficult for those without a stable home.
