<p>Centrepoint&#8217;s page on eBay is specifically for your unwanted Christmas presents, and allows the seller to donate as much or as little of their sale to the charity. You can choose between 10-100% of your profit to go towards helping homeless young people towards a brighter future, and lets face it, we all have a few unwanted gifts, still in the packaging, still lying around.</p>
<p>Centrepoint Chief Executive, Seyi Obakin, said:</p>
<blockquote><p>Selling unwanted gifts on eBay to someone who actually wants them, and in the process helping someone who is genuinely in need is a great concept. The money raised will make an enormous impact on the work Centrepoint does, helping to give homeless young people a future by providing a safe home and the vital support to turn their lives around.</p></blockquote>

<li>Support and Development</li>
<li>Health Advice</li>
<li>Education and Vocational Training</li>
<li>Financial Advice</li>
<li>Help in Moving on</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>You can help provide the UK&#8217;s homeless with a bed for the night from as little as 40p a day</strong>, with their &#8216;<a title="sponsor a room" href="http://www.donation4charity.org/charities/centrepoint" target="_self">Sponsor a Room</a>&#8216; programme. Your donation will help give young people the chance to rebuild their lives for a better future, and help provide Centrepoint with the funds to give support, advice, and of course beds, to the UK&#8217;s homeless.</p>
