About HOPE 

Nightstop

Could a Nightstop scheme be re-born in Leamington?  The now closed Young Housing Project had a rota of volunteer hosts who would give a room, food and, where wanted, a listening ear, for one night to young people aged 16 to 25 who were experiencing a family or housing crisis. This offered a safe breathing space and bought time for agencies to try to find longer term solutions.

Professionals in this area say we need such a scheme again like one of the 50 'Nightstop' schemes around the UK. What are your thoughts or suggestions? Would you please help assess the feasability with a few others? Might you explore possibility of being a host?
