Bradford Nightstop

     This is Lesley who was on the Bradford Nightstop stand at the Pride event on Saturday.  I hadn't heard of Bradford Nightstop before, but Lesley told me a little bit about the organisation.  The charity  provides emergency one night accommodation  to young homeless people who would otherwise be spending the night sleeping rough out on the streets of Bradford. The homeless young person is provided with a meal and a bed for the night, and if they want to talk about their problems, a listening ear.  The aim is, I think, to just give the young person a breathing space, and a chance to point them in the right direction regarding accommodation and longer term help.  Bradford Nightstop has a website at  http://www.bradfordnightstop.org.uk/
