I signed up as a volunteer host for Sussex Nightstop with a vague notion of wanting to give something back and needing something positive to do as i was contemplating giving up my full time job. Now many months later I've hosted 3 young people in my home for one or two nights each.

I'm not a parent or a social worker and have no special knowledge or skills around homelessness or young people.

I have found it incredibly rewarding.

If you have a spare room and think this is something you might like to do, do contact Sussex Nightstop to find out more.
