Every year, Nightstop receives thousands of calls from young people looking for a safe place. And, thanks to our amazing volunteers, we can offer them a safe place to stay, a hot meal and a chance to breathe.

Meet some of our volunteers. Watch the video below. #VolunteersWeek

With the price of food, energy bills, and other essential goods still rising, we’re supporting young people in our services by providing clothing, toiletries, travel costs and help with utility bills.

As the cost of living crisis deepens, our teams are seeing more and more people sleeping rough.

We're doing everything we can to support people to leave homelessness behind for good.

Help us be there.

Last year a woman named Magda contacted me wanting to donate a lot of unused make-up to the trans community. We chatted for 2 days working out logistics of me collecting. When she sent her address, it was only then after 2 days I realised that I'd been chatting to Sinead O'Connor

my statue of Durga, formidable mother goddess of strength, protection & healing, arrived today; I only just discovered Sinéad loved her too - of course she did:she had major Durga energy. so this is for her 🕯️ safe journey, you brave, beautiful gift to the world🕯️ #divinefeminine

Ah no 💔 RIP inspirational, beautiful, powerful Sinéad 🖤

New Podcast. I speak to Collie Ennis about biodiversity. We chatted about building ponds, planting wildflower, and holding local councils and politicians to account around issues of biodiversity. open.spotify.com/episode/4tbXRm…

I peaked with ‘Olive’s Macrame’ but I suspect most people had stopped reading by then 😭

Welcome to our bookshop!

In real life you can find us in Southport, on England's north-west coast – but for those who have never visited, please join us for a virtual tour of the bookshop...

This morning, we stood outside the garden Derek Jarman made at Dungeness. He wrote: 'Paradise haunts gardens, and some gardens are paradises. Mine is one of them.' No picture can capture the beauty and joy of it.

For those who missed this - a beautiful tribute to Mark by the Dubmaster Dennis Bovell, encompassing selections from Mark's solo work as well as material by The Pop Group, broadcast on Soho Radio

I’ve just called on the UK Prime Minister to show true leadership and deliver a ban on British live exports. The Government has backtracked on legislation to fulfil this manifesto commitment. Please sign the petition today. #BanLiveExports action.ciwf.org.uk/page/129350/pe…
