What

Dorset Nightstop provides safe, secure emergency accommodation for Dorset young people aged 16-25 (18-25 in Bournemouth, Poole & Christchurch) who are homeless or at risk of homelessness.

If you use the Nightstop service, you will be welcomed into the home of a fully trained volunteer host. Placements are on a one night at a time basis for a maximum of three nights.

As a young person accessing Nightstop you can expect:

• a safe and secure bed for the night in your own room
• an evening meal and breakfast
• washing facilities
• a listening ear, if you need one, or headspace if you prefer
• a friendly and free service
• breathing space to allow you to get any support you need and move towards finding more permanent accommodation

Nightstop aims to keep you in a safe and friendly home environment, while allowing agencies to look at long-term solutions to your homelessness.

Please call 01202 525 643 or email dorsetnightstop@actionforchildren.org.uk if you require this service.
