Every four minutes, a young person in the UK faces the terrifying prospect of homelessness.

Tonight thousands of young people will sleep rough or in unsafe places frightened, alone, and at risk of violence and exploitation. No young person should face a night like this.

But with compassion and action, things can change.

you can help turn fear into hope for a young person tonight

Our Nightstop service is an emergency accommodation network that relies on trained and vetted volunteers across the country. These hosts open their homes – and their hearts – to young people in crisis, offering a safe bed for the night and a lifeline of hope.

Your support helps ensure that when a young person has nowhere else to turn, there is someone who cares and a warm welcome for them.
