Nightstop
Nightstop provides emergency short-term accommodation (for up to 3 nights) to young people from the age of 16-24 who find themselves with nowhere else to go, in the homes of approved volunteers until permanent housing is secured. YMCA Norfolk staff will assist each young person as they explore their housing options.
Without the help and support of our volunteers we would not be able to do this. Hosts are recruited, trained and supported by YMCA Norfolk.
To be able to offer this service is invaluable, sometimes all a young person needs is time and space to be able to find solutions or start rebuilding relationships enabling them to return home. There are also times when a return home is not an option and other support and housing services needed. The reality Nightstop is trying to prevent is a young person finding themselves in a vulnerable situation or sleeping rough on the streets.
Have you a spare room for the night?
If anyone has a room for anything from one night to a couple of nights, then we need to hear from you now if you are willing to let one young person stay the night at your house. All we ask is for you to provide a room on a nightly basis, washing facilities, breakfast and evening meal.
All hosts will have access to ongoing training and will be provided with expenses.
