Dorset Nightstop provides safe, secure emergency accommodation for young people aged 16-25 in Dorset and 18-25 in Bournemouth, Christchurch & Poole who are homeless or at risk of homelessness.
We have a network of fully trained volunteer hosts across BCP and Dorset who can provide a spare room for a young person experiencing homelessness on a night-by-night basis to provide short term relief until they can move into longer term accommodation.
A young person accessing Nightstop can expect:
- A safe and secure bed for the night in their own room
- An evening meal, breakfast and a packed lunch
- Washing facilities
- A listening ear or headspace, whichever they prefer
- A friendly and free service
- Breathing space while helped to get any support needed and move towards finding more permanent accommodation.
To access the Dorset Nightstop service:
We are always looking for more volunteers to act as hosts for Dorset Nightstop, or as Volunteer Drivers. We offer full training and support for all of our volunteers. Interested? Then contact us at [email protected] for more information.
