Gloucestershire Nightstop

Gloucestershire Nightstop Annual Impact Report 2023/24

Gloucestershire Nightstop prevents youth homelessness by placing young people in emergency accommodation with trained volunteer hosts, providing a safe foundation for independent adult life. In 2023/24 it supported 69 young people across 381 nights of accommodation, with 85% moving on to stable long-term housing. 103 referrals were received and 4,302 volunteering hours contributed. National Nightstop research estimates the charity generates £4,600 in social value per young person supported. Its collaborative research project was recognised at the Centrepoint National Conference, and a joint initiative with the Barnwood Trust and ICB is developing trauma-informed and mental health pathways alongside emergency provision.
