If so BYHP could have the opportunity you are looking for. BYHP is seeking Nightstop hosts to join our existing scheme. All we ask is that you provide a hot evening meal, a bed, breakfast and use of your household facilities. Although this is a voluntary role, payment is made to cover expenses.

Comments from young people who have recently used the scheme:-
- "It was an amazing experience. I couldn't have asked to stay with friendlier people."
- "Well fed, warm bed, shower, kind host, made to feel welcome….."
- "My Carers during my Nightstop stay were wonderful. I was under no pressure to socialise, made me feel very welcome and had a warm, safe place to stay. No complaints just a thank you!"
