Nightstop Hosts
Do you like young people and have a spare bedroom in your home?
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.
This is a very rewarding position and very much appreciated by vulnerable young people who have nowhere to turn to. In the last year approximately 30 young people have been provided with emergency overnight accommodation, through this scheme.
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!"
