Who we are

Depaul UK is a national homelessness charity with a focus on young people. We exist to end homelessness and change the lives of those affected by it.

We prevent young people becoming homeless by providing shelter and support in a crisis, rebuilding family relationships, and teaching children about the risks of homelessness and where to turn for help.

For those already facing homelessness, we offer expert housing advice, supported accommodation, and programmes of support that develop life-skills, resilience, and an achievable path to independence.

We do everything we can to provide a safe place to call home, a chance to thrive and a brighter future.

Our vision

Our vision is of a society in which
everyone has a place to call home
and a stake in their community.
Our mission is to end homelessness
and change the lives of those
affected by it.

Nightstop - What we do

Young people at risk of rough sleeping are matched with trained and vetted volunteer hosts who offer a place to stay in the spare room of their home. As well as a bed for the night, Nightstop hosts provide meals, washing facilities and a friendly, listening ear.

During a young person’s stay, Nightstop teams work with them to address the underlying issues that have led to crisis point and help find longer-term solutions. This might mean arranging family mediation to support a return home, or helping a young person move on to supported housing through the local authority or other charity-led services.

Led and accredited by Depaul UK, the Nightstop network is delivered by charities and community organisations around the UK.

Through Nightstop UK, we can prevent homelessness and change the course of a young person’s life.
