The NightStop scheme places young people with host families for overnight stays.
The NightStop scheme provides emergency short term accommodation with host families and appropriate support for youngsters who find themselves homeless. Under this scheme volunteer hosts will be asked to provide up to three night’s accommodation for 16 - 25 year olds.
The safety of host families is of paramount importance. It means youngsters who are drunk, on drugs or have committed violent or sexual offences will not be accepted. If you would like more information on this project please contact Kemmyrk on 675507 or email

In an attempt to reduce the number of young people becoming homeless, Kemmyrk organises and delivers Peer Education sessions, where previously homeless experienced and trained youngsters will talk to teenagers about their experiences.
Peer Education involves suitably trained young people, who have been homeless themselves, going into schools to talk to young people about the realities of leaving home. They will also be able to offer information on the accommodation options available on the island.
This scheme has been running since September following our successful training. We have received continuous positive feedback about our sessions.
If anyone would like us to deliver our Peer Education sessions to groups of young people we would be more than happy to do this. Please telephone Jo Chapman on 675507 or contact joanna.chapman
