NightStop - Bradford charity helping young homeless

Bradford NightStop's website is packed with content, including profiles of young people who have used the service to make a fresh start.
NightStop work with local volunteers to provide advice and practical assistance, not least an alternative to the worst response to homelessness, sleeping on the streets, to 16-25 year-olds who find themselves in crisis and without a home.

There is a wealth of further information on what they do, how they can help, and links/contact details for NightStop and other relevant local agencies, on their website.

Below you can view a short film introducing you to some of the young people who have been helped by NightStop, and some of the volunteers who help ensure Bradford's young people have an alternative to sleeping on the streets - even one night doing this can lead to multiplying problems, and make it more difficult to resolve the problems that led to the homelessness.



Below you can find a PowerPoint quiz on homelessness and the law (amongst other issues), and photographs of NightStop in action.
