I was interviewed about my experiences as a YMCA Open Door Nightstop host and my work in supporting homeless young people in Wolverhampton.
Open Door offers vulnerable young people (who are homeless) safe accommodation with Host Families – individuals, couples and families who live in the Black Country. A young person placed with a host (such as me) will receive a package of support from YMCA to help them gain the confidence and skills they need to become independent adults.
I have hosted vulnerable young people in my home and if you have a spare room in your house, I would encourage you to consider becoming a host. To have an informal chat about the Open Door project with someone at YMCA Black Country Group please call 0121 524 1957 or visit:
