"Nightstop team made a huge difference to me. I stayed with families. I feel happier not to be homeless. Also another thing they made a difference in is about my mental health. Because mentally I feel much better because my life has changed..."


We provide a safety net for young people aged 16-25, preventing them from becoming homeless by matching them with volunteer hosts who put them up in their spare room on a night-by-night basis. This holiday season, our Sleep Safe campaign is calling on the community to take action against the often-hidden crisis of youth homelessness. We aim to raise £10,000, and we invite you to donate £1—or more if you can—to help make a difference. Every contribution directly supports the delivery of our services, including the recruitment and support of volunteer hosts.

Why the community needs us
Homelessness is a community issue and opening up a spare room is a way in which the local community can positively respond. Sleeping rough and other temporary living arrangements have a considerable and chronic negative effect. Our volunteer hosts provide a stable, safe environment where young people can begin to address their housing challenges. With this secure foundation, they have the best possible chance to seize new opportunities and contribute meaningfully to the community.

Our impact on the community
Over the last 10 years we have matched 3000 safe bed nights to 345 young people and worked with over 70 volunteer households to do so. Aside from the immediate relief of rough-sleeping, we are pleased to report that 90% of young people using our Sussex Nightstop service go on to secure safer, more suitable longer-term housing. All of the young people benefit from being in a safe, secure, home environment.
