- Decoration - etc. pictures, plants, clocks, ornaments, mirrors

Please note that Centrepoint is prioritising organisations who provide supported accommodation (i.e accommodation that is owned or managed by the Partnering member) as this is where we feel the greatest impact can be achieved. However, other accommodation projects (e.g. supported lodgings) that accommodate young people for periods of 3 months or longer, are welcome to apply. We will make decisions on other accommodation projects once the supported accommodation applications have been assessed.
