We understand that having nowhere safe to sleep can be scary. Especially when you should be focusing on education, training, work; where you can sleep safe should not be something you should be worrying about. But now that you are in a situation that forces you to rough sleep, sofa-surf, have nowhere to go, we are here to help.
We provide emergency accommodation to 16–25-year-olds in welcoming homes with our vetted and trained volunteer hosts in Brighton & Hove. They're kind and caring folks, there to provide you with a safe place while you find a new home. And while you stay, we’ll support you on your journey with the services, information and encouragement you need.
"STAYING AT NIGHTSTOP SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED THE AMOUNT OF RISK I HAVE EXPERIENCED AT THIS PERIOD OF MY LIFE, BY CONSISTENTLY PROVIDING ME WITH SAFETY AND HUMAN NEEDS, BY FULLY CATERING TO ME WITH EMPATHY, COMPASSION AND GOING ABOVE AND BEYOND THE CALL OF DUTY IN EVERY WAY.”
Young people don’t choose homelessness
It can be the safer option than staying at home. Other drivers include discrimination, family changes, homophobia, leaving the child welfare system and poverty. Our host homes offer an inclusive judgment-free, respectful place of respite.
Why is Nightstop needed?
“Nightstop gave me the opportunity to move into stable accommodation and the time to organise a new job. I was able to sustain myself again financially.”

YOUR NEW HOME
A safe night’s sleep can change a life
Through our volunteer host network, we ensure that young people have the opportunity to sleep safe every night and, crucially, find a secure and sustainable home to move on to.
"NIGHTSTOP MADE ME FEEL AT HOME WHILE HOMELESS. IT’S A VERY IMPORTANT SERVICE THAT HAS A POSITIVE IMPACT ON THOSE THAT USE IT."
“NIGHTSTOP RESTORED MY FAITH IN HUMAN KINDNESS.”
What's it like to host?
"It's really rewarding. Just the feeling of having done it. You've sent a person on their way with the hope that your hosting has had a positive impact."
Together we can do great work
Our service is a constant reminder of how powerful collaboration can be.
Guests really appreciate the kindness shown to them by our wonderful hosts – it can make all the difference between overcoming temporary challenges or not - and volunteers enjoy the hugely positive impact their generosity has on young lives.
“THANKS TO YOU I ACHIEVED THE IMPOSSIBLE. YOU GAVE ME THE STRENGTH TO FIGHT.”

Wooden Beavers Playground
Quality Construction Work
Wooden Beavers is a construction company located in Utah. We specialize in wooden constructions made from the ground up. We only use the best materials for our work. All projects are developed using old school carpentry methods.
The Wooden Beavers
Joe Pinecone
Joe was raised in Canada by Alaskan parents and later moved to Utah in order to pursue a career in woodworking. Being disappointed with the quality of modern furniture in general, he founded Wooden Beavers.
James Woodchip
James was a former biker, but wanted to do more with his life. In 2012, he moved from Florida to Utah. He met Joe at a cafe and soon joined Wooden Beavers. James also works with kids and teaches everything he knows about wood and nature.
Jack Buzzsaw
When Jack was born, he was left in the cold by his parents. What could have been a tragic story, turned positive as a Grizzly Bear couple took care of him and taught him all he knows about nature. His skills are the best, but he doesn't say a lot.
Long Beard
When we start a new project, you can expect 100% quality and craftsmanship. All projects include no-nonsense tools and materials. On top of this, we also make sure to give an authentic appearance and that includes a well groomed beard.
Lumberjack Shirt
No construction job would seem authentic without us wearing Lumberjack Shirts. No matter how hot it is outside, you should expect us to wear our signature red and black lumberjack shirts. On special occasions, we wear blue denim shirts.
Masculine Armpits
When getting real close, you will be greeted with the true essence of masculine woodworking. A sent including (but not limited to) hints of coffee, leather, pinewood, tobacco, grease, oil, old tools, rust and of course, molted old forest cabin.
Latest Project
The new owners of Idaho Tea & Coffee House wanted to give their place a complete makeover. We turned this boring looking cafe into a remarkable place. Both inside and outside, we built new furniture made to last heavy use and bad weather. All the wood used for the project was delivered from a nearby sawmill.
Let's work together
If you have a creative project in mind, get in contact with Wooden Beavers today! When it comes to quality woodworking, we are the first you should call. We are looking forward to hearing from you.
