Bradford Nightstop

What does it do?

Bradford Nightstop provides emergency accommodation for homeless young people (16-25) in the homes of vetted and trained volunteers. One night at a time, the young person is offered a place of safety with a room of their own, transport, meals, essential supplies, washing facilities and support for their next step. In addition to the emergency accommodation, Nightstop offers extended stays of up to 21 days for those aged 16 and 17 years. The young person will be helped and encouraged with skills for independence. Nightstop also offers free preventative education on youth homeless in schools throughout the Bradford District. This serves to educate and raise awareness of the issues surrounding youth homelessness.

Who is it for?

Young people aged 16-25 who are homeless and in need of emergency accommodation.

How do I access it?

Referrals are made over the telephone from a trusted referral agency (such as Housing Options) to one of our volunteer Telephone Contact Persons (TCP) during extensive referral hours (Mon-Fri: 9.30am-10pm; Sat-Sun: hours vary). Following a short risk assessment the young person can be placed with one of over thirty Nightstop hosts and transport arrangements made.
