We are working with Weston YMCA to prevent young people
from becoming homeless.
Nightstop is an initiative aimed at providing temporary
accommodation for 18-24 year olds, one night at a time.
If you live in North Somerset and want to help prevent a young
person from becoming homeless then the scheme would like to hear
from you.
Nightstop works by placing a young person in the home of a
volunteer host for one night at a time. The host needs to be
able to offer a spare room, an evening meal, breakfast, use of
washing facilities and if possible be able to drive.
In return, hosts receive £15 for each host night and for
relevant travel expenses.
Nightstop has been successfully operating in neighbouring parts
of Somerset since January 2011 with hosts accommodating over 70
young people.
If you would like to take part in the North Somerset scheme then
please contact the Weston YMCA on 01934 629787 or e-mail Robert
Penney at
