- Other notes
Nightstop volunteers are ordinary people who are willing to open the door of their home to help young people in need, or who offer their time to help local Nightstop services in other ways. All volunteers have to undertake specific training before commencing their volunteering role with a local Nightstop.
Equally, an assessment is done on the client by the agency and sent to Nightstop with the referral. Nightstop would assess this along with 2 professional references by client to decide if suitable for placement.
