Volunteer with Nightstop

Could you open your spare room to a young person in crisis? Nightstop hosts provide a safe bed for the night, a meal, washing facilities and a friendly, listening ear. 


In 2024, over 284 Nightstop hosts across the UK opened their doors to young people at risk of homelessness.   

With full training and ongoing support, you could make a difference to a young person in crisis by offering a safe place to stay in the spare room of your home. As well as a bed for the night, you will provide a warm welcome, a hot meal, washing facilities and a friendly, listening ear.   

A further 693 volunteers drove or accompanied young people to their Nightstop host’s home, ensuring they arrived safely while offering reassurance during a worrying time.  

Our volunteers give young people at risk of homelessness the time, support and safety they need to find their feet and move forward.

Hosts for Nightstop are some of the kindest people out there. I was welcomed in, shown my room for the night, and given the wi-fi code. It was bliss. I was able to have my first proper night’s sleep in ages. I was so relieved.

All the hosts have been so welcoming and I can’t believe there’s people out there who really want to help others in this way. It’s wonderful.
