Support for young people affected by homelessness

Supporting 16-25 year olds affected by homelessness immediately and working together to find longer-term solutions.

I can always count on AfC, when I was in a deep state, they housed me and gave me the second chance in life I needed.

Our Projects

Emergency Accommodation

Are you 16–25 and have nowhere safe to stay? Nightstop is here for young people who are homeless and need emergency accommodation. We offer a free, safe place to stay for up to 5 nights with a fully trained volunteer host. Run in partnership with UK charity Depaul. We’ll talk with you first to make sure it’s the right fit, then we'll arrange everything. Your stay includes:

A warm bed, a meal, and access to a shower
A welcoming environment with listening support
Help planning your next steps

Mediation

Struggling after arguments at home and now have nowhere to stay? Conflict Mediation could help. If you’re 16–25 and homeless or at risk of it, because of family breakdown, our trained team can support you. We use a proven approach designed to prevent youth homelessness by helping families talk things through in a safe, respectful space.

We help you and your family feel heard and help you to build your own plan to improve the situation at home. If going back isn’t possible or safe, we’ll support you in finding other options that are right for you.

Accommodation Finding

Ready to live on your own? Some young people facing homelessness already have the skills to live independently. If that’s you, we can help you take the next step. During three one-to-one sessions, we’ll support you in finding a private rental or house share that suits your needs.

We’ll help you:

Register with the Guernsey Private Landlords Association
Sign up with local estate agents
Practice enquiring about properties
Search for rentals on social media
Understand benefits, bills, and budgeting

Day Centre

Need somewhere safe during the day? If you’re homeless, sofa surfing, or don’t feel safe where you’re staying. Our Day centre is Open Monday to Friday from 9:30 - 11:00am, it provides a welcoming space where your physical, emotional, and self-care needs are supported.
