Donate today and our generous partners will double your gift giving more young people the chance to leave homelessness behind for good.
This year, our generous partners are doubling all donations up to the value of £60,500 until 31 December 2025. Please donate today to make sure your gift is doubled.
Will you donate today? Your donation will be doubled, meaning twice the number of young people will receive support to turn fear into hope.
St Vincent de Paul was a man who saw Christ in the poor. He understood the extraordinary power of ordinary people — their generosity, faith, and kindness — to bring about lasting change.
His spirit lives on today through our Nightstop service: an emergency accommodation network that relies on trained and vetted volunteer hosts from communities across the country. These hosts open their homes — and their hearts — to young people in crisis, offering not only a safe bed for the night, but a lifeline of hope.
When a young person arrives at Nightstop, they are exhausted, anxious, and have nowhere left to turn. But Nightstop offers more than a roof. It is a warm welcome, a kind conversation, a listening ear. It is a hot meal, a shower, clean clothes — the simple, human gestures that restore dignity and trust.

Sofia knows what it’s like to be excluded for who you are. Forced to leave home after coming out as Trans, she found herself without support, safety, or stability. Today, with support from Depaul UK, she’s not just rebuilding her life—she’s helping shape how we support other young LGBTQ+ people in our services. Donate to help others like Sofia.
Alan, a biomedical student fled civil war to seek safety in the UK. When his support was cut off, he faced homelessness, until Nightstop offered him a safe place and hope. This support helped transform his future, enabling him to rebuild his life and continue his dream of becoming a doctor. Donate to help others like Alan.
For the first time in her life, Ellen feels safe—and proud. After years of instability, abuse, and constant moves, she’s found not just a roof over her head, but a community that values her voice. From joining a band to helping shape services for others, Ellen is proof that even the most turbulent beginnings don’t have to define the ending. Donate to help others like Ellen.
Download our ‘Prayer for Nightstop’ here. It has been written by Mark Byrant, one of our Nightstop hosts. Mark is a retired Anglican Bishop.
Mark’s prayer is a wonderful way to bring your community together and support young people experiencing homelessness. This Christmas, we’d love you and your parish community to share Mark’s ‘Prayer for Nightstop’ and support young people like Alan to turn fear into hope.
Will you donate today? Your donation will be doubled, meaning twice the impact. Help us to turn the fear of homelessness into the hope of a brighter future.
