“I think it is so great that there are people like your hosts. When someone trusts you, then you want to give them that trust back”.
17 year old female with Chester Host.
Sarah was 16 yrs old when referred to Nightstop by Housing Options. Family arguments were so bad that she slept rough. 3 nights with a host in her local area gave both sides time to think things over. She returned to her parents and several months on is now working towards going to university.
“Nightstop turned my life around and got me into the type of long term accommodation I had been trying to access for years”.
James, 19 yr old, Northwich
“On the occasions Mark (16 yrs old) stayed with me, he was tired and very hungry. He had been sleeping rough. Whilst in my care he made himself at home and was happy to have a sense of actually belonging somewhere”
Rob, Nightstop Host, Knutsford
“He was a real chatterbox. He never stopped talking! My own sons took him out for a walk with the dog. They were really moved by his situation and said it made them realise how lucky they were to have a secure home”
Ali, Nightstop Host in Chester
“Without what my host family did for me I think I would have gone back to using drugs. I cannot say a big enough thank you”.
