In\u00a0More4’s moving documentary<\/a>, broadcast in July 2017, Ruth, Lizzy, Jane, Ken & Ian, and Laura open their doors to carefully vetted young people who have nowhere to go. Could you do the same?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Every year, more than 600 remarkable volunteers do what the hosts in\u00a0“Would you take in a stranger?”\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>do: they give up their spare room to help a young person in urgent need.\u00a0But we need more.<\/strong>\u00a0Last year, sadly we had to turn away more than 800 young people – simply because we didn\u2019t have enough volunteer hosts.<\/h4>\n

As\u00a0a Nightstop host<\/a>, you are trained, inducted and supported at all times \u2013 and you can sign up to help as often or as little as you\u2019d like. All you have to do is offer a young person your spare room for the night, somewhere to bath or shower and make a hot meal for them. You could change someone\u2019s life for ever.<\/p>\n

Find out today about volunteering for Nightstop \u2013 and how\u00a0you\u00a0could help us support more young people\u00a0<\/a>like Kieran, Dandi and Paul.<\/strong><\/p>\n
