Time Stop

 

We offer twenty two direct access single rooms for young people at risk of homelessness in Peterborough. If circumstances have forced a young person between 16 and 25 years old into homelessness Time Stop can provide access to immediate accommodation for up to 3 months. Each young person will be allocated a Key Worker who will help them to identify their needs and, through an intensive, short-term support plan, help them positively move on with their lives. Practical assistance and advice is offered including tips on budgeting and seeking employment together with emotional support to encourage healthy and rewarding independent lives.

The rooms all have comfortable furniture, a sink and fridge freezer and there is shared access to bathrooms, kitchen complete with microwave, kettle, toaster and a communal lounge.

 

 

How to access?

 

Time Stop accepts referrals from any agency and self-referrals by telephone or in person. All applicants must be willing to engage with the support on offer.
