From the 21st of January 2009 Depaul Trust will be known as Depaul UK. After running for 20 years, Depaul UK has updated its name to represent the huge growth and development of this organisation.
Depaul UK is the largest youth homelessness charity in the UK, providing over 100,000 bed nights a year.
We help young people across the UK who are homeless, vulnerable and disadvantaged. We are passionate about what we do, working in the very heart of local communities.
We protect young people who become homeless by finding them a place to call their home. Each year we provide over 100,000 bed nights and we are open every day and night.
We prevent young people from becoming homeless by rebuilding family relationships and offering through the gate support to young offenders.
We provide young people with the chance to fulfil their potential in the community through education, volunteering, training and jobs.
We are currently in the process of undergoing a website redesign process and in the interim period are sharing Depaul Nightstop UK's website.
Depaul Nightstop UK is a national service working together with local communities towards the prevention of youth homelessness. Depaul Nightstop UK supports independent local Nightstop services, across the UK, who offer emergency accommodation to homeless young people, aged 16-25, in the homes of approved volunteers.
Depaul Nightstop UK, a service of Depaul UK, enables the development of new Nightstop services and offers training, support and advice to established local Nightstop services as well as ensuring that quality standards of practice are maintained.
In the last year, 50 local Nightstop services across the UK offered in excess of 5800 nights of accommodation utilising the hospitality of over 300 hosting households. Over 81,000 volunteering hours were donated to local Nightstop services.
