Story

I'm a volunteer with Bradford Nightstop. This year we have lost around 80% of our funding, 70% of our volunteers & 60% of our staff. We've supported homeless young people for almost 30 years and we help to keep young people safe in Bradford, Leeds, Kirklees and Calderdale. 

Bradford Broadway Shopping Centre have chosen us as their charity of the year. Their support has been amazing. This Sunday they have entered the Dragon Boat Festival and I'm on the crew (Heaven help us).

One of our guests, a young lady, slept in City Park before being hosted by Nightstop. She said it was the worst night of her life. She told us that staying with Nightstop changed her life and she is now happy and settled. Our work is not finished, we need to be there for young people in extreme need. 

About the charity

Bradford Nightstop

We provide a warm safe place to stay for young homeless people of the Bradford district on a one night at a time basis, within the homes of volunteers. On over 9000 occasions we have offered a bed in one of our homes. It isn't posh, it isn't for long but it is safe and it is really appreciated.
