In their words

This is what a young person said when he left the service:

Your kindness has made my stay a safe and comforting one. Thanks for the chance you gave me to complete my studies towards a brighter future.

This is what some hosts said about their experiences:

Most people who know I am a host think I must be mad, but I’ve never had any bad experiences. You find that the young people are so grateful just to have a place to stay.
That’s the real perk of what I do, seeing that I may have made some small difference.

This is what a social worker said about Youthbase:

May I thank your service and the staff at Youthbase for putting in this service and ensuring he is safe.

This is what a Connexions PA said:

Hosts are a special breed providing a safe and welcoming place to reflect and take stock while we review and plan the next step.
A wonderful alternative to B & B and hostels for young people who are in crisis at this time.
