REPORT FROM OUR CHAIR & CHARITY MANAGER

During 2023 – 24 we have provided a range of holistic homelessness prevention support for 162 young adults whose lives are at risk because of homelessness or the threat of homelessness. They are often without family, or a support network, and disengaged from services, such as accommodation, health, education, training and employment, areas essential in providing the foundation to become an independent, thriving adult.

Further barriers include the continuing national housing shortage, cost of living crisis , more recently the remote ways of working and reduced specialist services. This has resulted in a lack of suitable, local, affordable housing solutions, long waiting times for specialist mental health support, limited direct in person contact, unaffordable fuel and food bills.

People are experiencing prolonged homelessness , poor living conditions , poor mental and physical health, unemployment, increased debt , and disengagement from training and education. We are witnessing the impact of this first-hand, demand for our services is increasing, as is the severity and complexity of need for those we support across our projects.

To combat these layers of barriers , we deliver our work face to face at a central, accessible location, based within a hub of wellbeing and learning. To relieve high pressured crisis situations our holistic approach means people can explain their situation once and receive support for their housing, health, education and employment needs. Our homelessness prevention work beyond housing includes access to one to one support (for as long as is needed), lunches, craft therapy and trips. Real time to build confidence, self esteem and resilience, reduce emotional and social poverty, and develop strategies to sustain their tenancies. Having recovered from their situations , they engage with the wider community and thrive .

We have maintained a highly skilled and experienced staff team who are genuinely interested in their work, supported by a board of trustees with a range of relevant skills and knowledge. As part of our governance we maintain an up-to-date risk management register and review our financial position at each meeting.

We have a small bank of volunteers that are invaluable to the delivery of our work. Strong relationships are at the core of our work and this extends to the working relationships that we have within the local community and the County.

We work together with our local housing team, to support the delivery of their strategic objectives. To extend our access to a range of accommodation options to prevent homelessness and relocation out of area we work with supported accommodation providers, housing associations and private landlords Where appropriate we used a hotel for short stays and AirB&B. Our homelessness prevention work includes mediation .

Embedded within the local community, We utilise local and county assets. We deliver our work in partnership with our funders , local business , voluntary and statutory services, whose values align with ours. We are members of BARN, Centrepoint, and Nightstopuk. Our work is supported by members of the public, schools, supermarkets and groups, by donations of funds and gifts.

During the year, we have reviewed our client support processes and developed a new ‘Client Journey’ which sets out the support we provide for clients through crisis resolution to building a positive future . This helps clients and referral agencies to understand the support they can expect to receive when engaging with our service, and the outcomes we will support them to achieve .The Client Journey builds on our Theory of Change, see back page.

Looking forward we will be focusing on recruiting more host households, completing data processing updates, and securing funding to continue delivering our projects at the current capacity to meet the ongoing needs of young people locally .

This report describes the work we’ve undertaken this year and includes an independent evaluation outlining the impact for clients .

A STAFF OVERVIEW OF OUR ACTIVITIES

Over the past 12 months we have continued to provide holistic homelessness prevention support, accommodation, and learning for people aged 16-35 who are, homeless, at risk of homelessness, sofa surfing, sleeping in a vehicle, living in unsafe or inappropriate accommodation. Their situation can be because of family breakdown, rent arrears, domestic abuse, insecure tenancy, debt, unable to manage their tenancy, parental/own substance abuse, parental/own mental health breakdown, financial abuse by a parent, victim of abuse or neglect by a parent,leaving care, trauma, intentionally homeless. As a result of their circumstances they may have, anger management issues, challenging behaviours, low self esteem, poor mental health, self harm, learning disability/difficulty, drug and alcohol misuse.

Our approach prioritises understanding the unique needs, barriers, and strengths of each client. This holistic model enables us to:

Provide immediate crisis relief and long-term strategies for stability.
Gather evidence supporting the need for services such as adult social care, housing, and mental health support.
Create individualised plans that build on the strengths of our clients, ensuring the right level of support is provided for as long as necessary. Make appropriate referrals to external services.
Provide activities to alleviate anxiety, isolation and loneliness.

We support clients to identify and develop their strengths while addressing their vulnerabilities, which creates more sustainable outcomes. Our clients have seen success in maintaining tenancies, rebuilding relationships, learning new skills, entering the employment market, engaging in training, and improving their overall mental health and well-being.

We provide a lifeline for individuals and families in crisis, offering both immediate assistance and long-term strategies for overcoming barriers.

Our comprehensive range of support activities ensures that we can meet the varied and complex needs of our clients. These include:

Assessment and Support Planning : Conducting an assessment of each client’s situation to create a personalised support plan.

Face-to-Face Support Sessions : Regular in-person sessions where clients can receive guidance and assistance on a range of issues.

Supported Referral to Services : Referrals to housing, health, financial, educational, training and employment services, ensuring clients are connected to the right external agencies.

Informal Mediation : Facilitating discussions to help resolve difficulties within families where there is a risk of homelessness.

Advocacy : Representation and support to ensure clients’ voices are heard, particularly in interactions with housing, healthcare, and social care.

Graded Exposure to engaging in daily living, communication and reconnecting with others: offering activities such as cooking, craft therapy and lunch

0 6 05

Graded Exposure to Key Services: Support to attend important appointments related to health, education and benefits improving confidence enabling the client to progress to attend independently.

I n-House Learning Opportunities : We support young people to develop via workshops and classes tailored to individuals or groups aimed at personal and independent living skills development including cooking sessions, mental health and wellbeing workshops, budgeting sessions.

Via an Awards4 All grant we deliver a Mental Health Support project, providing immediate access to fully funded mental health practitioners for clients in need. This year 7 young people have benefited from one-to-one counselling sessions with qualified mental health practitioners, 2 young people have been provided with activities or goods to improve mental health and wellbeing.

We provide weekly opportunities for social interaction via a shared meal, where clients offer peer supporters to each other, and a weekly group providing a calm space for people to engage in arts and crafts. Our facility provides access to telephone, computer, and cooking facilities, with the option for independent or supported use.

Fundraising and regular donations from the local community contribute to the Redditch Nightstop Hardship Fund enabling us to provide 35 clients with essential items to set up a home, reducing furniture poverty, and providing items to break down barriers to education and employment, including travel funding, clothing, identification, essential safety equipment and food parcels which all clients can access according to need. Redditch Nightstop provided 528 meals to our clients.

The Centrepoint Bursary has provided 6 young people with a range of items needed to access employment or education.

Via a grant from the National Grid , our project ‘ A Warm Place to Call Home ’ has provided 13 young people Carpets, curtains or blinds, and provision of air fryers and radiator keys. Young people were also offered tailored advice to reduce energy costs and become more energy efficient.

We have supported all eligible clients to apply for the Act On Energy Worcestershire Household Support Fund and The Big Difference Scheme which has provided grants towards energy and water costs.

We have worked with external partners to compliment this provision, including The Tardebigge Sickness Relief Fund Charity: 13 clients have been supported to access a range of white goods. Acts of Kindness have provided 5 clients with one item of white goods, all eligible clients are referred to the service.

The Sainsburys Eat Well Project has supported 30 clients , providing lunches, food vouchers, and food parcels.

SUMMARY OF ACTIVITIES

We have arranged a variety of trips for our clients this year, which are an essential part of the service’s provision of positive, enriching experiences outside of regular support environments.

Go-Karting Trip.

We visited a local Go-Karting track, offering a high-energy experience focused on fun and friendly competition. This activity was a thrilling experience for the young adults, while helping them build confidence.

We spent a day spent at Stratford Upon Avon, enjoying a Boat Trip, River Walk, picnic which provided a more relaxed experience for clients to connect, unwind, enjoy nature, and also visited a local art exhibition providing a cultural and educational experience. We visited the Safari Park in partnership with another local organisation, The Basement Project for clients to enjoy seeing the animals and go on rides and attractions that provided excitement and fun.

We took clients to Bidford Upon Avon to complete a riverside walk and enjoy a picnic and BBQ together.

We were invited to The Palace Theatre to watch local production of Young Frankenstein, which for many of the group was their first time at the theatre..

These outings have been successful in providing young adults with a balanced mix of adventure, cultural exposure, and relaxation. Each trip has contributed to building stronger social connections, encouraging personal development, and offering new experiences to enrich their lives ensuring that participants have enjoyed a wide range of activities, promoting both physical and mental well-being.

Redditch Nightstop plays a vital role in clients transition into employment by providing targeted assistance and referrals to specialised services. These young adults, many of whom face challenges in securing jobs, are offered structured support to build their employability skills and confidence. Key partner agencies include Work Pays, Beam, Volunteer It Yourself, The Old Needleworks, HOW college, each contributing to the development of essential skills through courses, CV writing support, interview preparation, and employment training.

The collaborative efforts of the support service and its partner agencies have resulted in successful outcomes. Young adults who were previously struggling to find work have gained confidence, improved their employability, entered full-time employment, education, apprenticeships, short courses or voluntary work.

CASE STUDIES

Carl had been referred to Redditch Nightstop via the DWP (Department of Work and Pensions) due to concerns around ongoing vulnerabilities. Carl was registered as partially sighted due to complication with type 1 diabetes. He had ASD and was homeless following a family breakdown. Carl had been staying with friends, funding hotels on nights that people could not accommodate him. This had been ongoing for 3 weeks.

Carl had been informed that he had no local priority need and offered a hostel placement in Birmingham.

Nightstop staff established that Carl’s eyesight was so poor he could not read standard print, he was navigating in daylight only by shapes and shadows, and at night he could not be out because it was impossible for him to see. Staff established that the reason for not Carl having a walking stick was because he had not met with the sensory impairment team.

Redditch Nightstop staff support included:

Liaising with RBC to secure temporary housing in Redditch, to stay safe and local to support services.
Facilitating meetings with WCC Sensory Impairment Team to get aids for his visual impairment
support to make contact with the hospital about appointments.
Use of Redditch Nightstop facilities such as the fridge to store medication
Explore housing options including mediation (refused by parent)
Update PIP claim
A safe daytime environment
Access to facilities
Hot meals

Leanne self-referred to Nightstop as she was homeless. She been had been financially abused by a family member and was also exploited by ‘friends’, had a history of domestic abuse, and significant mental and physical health conditions. Leanne had independently made a formal homelessness application however was offered unsuitable shared accommodation located outside her local area.

Staff carefully assessed Leanne and gathered medical evidence which demonstrated that she had a priority need for housing. This meant that the local council were able to provide temporary accommodation in the local area whilst her homeless case was assessed maximising her engagement with mental health services and minimising the risk of further exploitation.

Staff continued to work with Leanne providing emotional support, practical assistance and advocacy. Eventually, Leanne was offered a permanent tenancy by the local council.

Nightstop supported her in the following areas:

Furniture and Household Items: Obtained essential furniture, flooring, blinds and white goods for her new home via grant funding. This ensured that her new living space was comfortable and met her basic needs.
Emotional Support: Leanne was provided with continued emotional support to help her adjust recognised that transitioning from homelessness to permanent housing could be overwhelming and worked with her to address any anxieties.
Managing finances: Staff offered ongoing support in managing her budget, setting up utilities and understanding her responsibilities, ensuring that she could sustain her housing and avoid exploitation.

By addressing her specific needs holistically, considering her mental, physical, and emotional health, staff ensured that Leanne’s complex needs were met, and she was able to regain control of her life, manage her tenancy and move forward toward a more stable and positive future.

Redditch Nightstop is the link for clients to access the wider community provisions and opportunities, a steppingstone to managing life and thriving.

“If I didn’t have Nightstop, I’d probably be in a really risky situation. I’d still be in debt.

“It’s that I know you’re always there. And in my head that’s kind of a safety net, and I know if something goes off I can call you guys and say, now what do I do? How do I go about doing this?”

“I feel [Nightstop] has taught me some things in life. My trust in services has improved.” “Drop in helps with meeting new people and socialising with new people, it has helped boost my selfconfidence.”

“How many times do I call you, to this day, when something’s gone wrong? I called you not long ago because there was a debt that wasn’t mine but was technically mine and you talked me through it… you’re very good at listening too… I can’t call anyone else, I’ve got no-one else, so I just call you.”

IMPACT ANALYSIS

We undertook work during the year to strengthen our impact evaluation. We commissioned Tiller Research Ltd to review our impact evaluation processes, help us refine our data collection processes, and undertake an independent impact analysis.

This section outlines the development of our new ‘Client Portrait’, which has been designed to embed collection of outcome data in our core processes. Tiller Research undertook an independent analysis of our case data, along with the quantitative data collected from our pilot testing of the new Client Portrait. The results provide a summary of client cases during the year, and an overview of the holistic outcomes experienced by our clients. This helps us to better understand the diversity of needs and circumstances experienced by our clients, and demonstrates the positive impact that Redditch Nightstop has delivered for them.

Overview of Redditch Nightstop Cases

Redditch Nightstop worked with 162 clients during the year April 2023 to March 2024, as shown in figure 1. Of these, 102 were new referrals received during the year.

The three projects of Redditch Nightstop provide support to different cohorts of young people. Clients referred to Floating Support typically have more complex needs, and on average receive support over a longer period time than clients referred to the Safe Accommodation and Support (SAS) project, as shown in figure 2. For SAS project clients, 34% received support for more than 90 days; this compare with 54% of Floating Support clients who received support for more than 90 days.However, there is a significant range of support needs and duration within each project.

0 6 11

‘Client Portrait’ Development

Redditch Nightstop undertook a review of evaluation processes during the year. The previous evaluation form was replaced with a new ‘Client Portrait’. This has been reworded to be more client-focussed, allowing completion to serve the dual purpose of identifying a client’s wants and needs to inform their support plan, in addition to collecting data to evaluate outcomes.

The Client Portrait consists of 13 Likert-type scale questions plus free text boxes asking clients to reflect on what is currently going well, what they want to change about their current situation, and what support would help them to make the changes they want to make.

The 13 scale questions are divided into five sections representing Redditch Nightstop’s outcome areas:

Accommodation (2 questions)
Independent Living Skills (3 questions)
Work, Training and Education (2 questions) Relationships (2 questions)
Health Wellbeing (4 questions)

Each question is presented as a statement, to which respondents are asked to identify how often the statement represents their situation over the last two weeks:

5 - All of the time

4 - Most of the time
3 - More than half of the time
2 - Less than half of the time
1 - Some of the time
0 - At no time

0 6 12

The intention is that Client Portraits will be completed at multiple timepoints:

a ‘baseline’ Client Portrait will be completed as part of a young person’s initial engagement with Redditch Nightstop;
a Client Portrait will also be completed as part of closing a client’s case. This will show the changes experienced by a young person during their engagement with Redditch Nightstop;
where a client is contactable, a ‘follow-up’ Client Portrait will be completed around 3-6 months after provisional case closure. This will be a check to ensure that the client no longer requires support, and will also provide data on the extent to which outcomes have been maintained;
for clients receiving support over a longer period of time, additional Client Portraits may be completed at 6 month intervals, or after there has been a significant change in their circumstances.

Analysis of Client Outcomes

Client outcomes for the year April 2023 – March 2024 have been assessed using the new Client Portraits. As this is a new process, data was collected for two timepoints:

Baseline: where clients were already working with Redditch Nightstop, a Client Portrait was completed retrospectively. The client and/or Homelessness Prevention Officer completed this as though it was completed at the time of the client’s first contact with Redditch Nightstop, with reference to the client’s case notes;
Follow-up: Homelessness Prevention Officers contacted former clients in May 2024, and completed a Client Portrait with them to understand their current situation. This was an average of six months since the completion of support from Redditch Nightstop.

Pairs of baseline and follow-up Client Portraits were completed for 22 SAS clients and five Floating Support 21-35 clients.To enable statistical analysis to be undertaken, Floating Support 21-35 clients with two completed Client Portraits were included where there case was still open, providing a sample of 10.

These samples provide an initial evaluation of client outcomes using the new process. This has also provided a test of the new process, which will be embedded fully during 2024.

Overall Outcomes

The average overall Client Portrait score rose from 29.2% at baseline to 83.1% at followup. As figure 3 illustrates, there was a significant range of scores at both baseline and follow-up. Each quartile represents 25% of clients. The diagram shows that, at baseline, half of clients had an overall score between 16% and 47%. At follow-up, half of these former clients had an overall score between 61% and 90%.This indicates that the overall situation of former clients had improved, with positive outcomes maintained following the completion of their engagement with Redditch Nightstop.

0 6 13

Client Portrait Elements

Figure 4 shows the changes between baseline and follow-up for each of the five outcome areas within the Client Portrait. These changes were analysed using a Wilcoxon SignedRank Test for Paired Samples.

A significance value of p<0.01 means that there is a greater than 99% probability that the observed result is not due to chance, p<0.001 means that there is a greater than 99.9% probability that the observed result is not due to chance. The Effect Size indicates the strength of the observed change, where r = 0.1 is considered to be a small effect size, r = 0.3 a medium effect size, and r = 0.5 a large effect size.

For the SAS project, a test sample of 22 clients had completed a Client Portrait at both baseline and follow-up. A significant positive change with a large effect size was observed for the overall scores (Z = 3.998, p<0.001, r = 0.60), and in all five outcome areas.

0 6 14

For the Floating Support 21-35 analysis, it should be noted that the small sample of 10 clients included five clients still receiving support at the time of the follow-up Client Portrait. This means that outcomes cannot be directly compared to those for the SAS project. Nevertheless, the overall Client Portrait score for this sample showed a significant positive change between baseline and follow-up, with a large effect size (Z = 2.450, p<0.01, r = 0.55). Significant positive changes were also identified for three outcome areas: Independent Living Skills, Relationships, Health & Wellbeing. Increases in the average scores for Accommodation Situation and Access to Education, Training or Employment were not statistically significant. However, this is likely to be due to a combination of the small sample size and the fact that half of this sample were still receiving support.

It is notable that the baseline scores for Floating Support 21-35 clients is higher than that for SAS clients in all outcome areas except for Access to Education, Training or Employment, which is much lower. This indicates a different set of circumstances and support needs within the two groups, albeit recognising significant individual variation within each group. This is reflected in the typically longer engagement timeframe for Floating Support 21-35 clients.

0 6 15

Changes in Outcome Areas

Analysis of changes experienced by individual clients across the five Redditch Nightstop outcome areas is shown in figure 5. For the SAS Project, 86% of clients self-reported positive change in at least four of the five outcome areas, relative to their baseline position.

No Redditch Nightstop client has experienced negative change in more than one of the five outcome areas. Where negative change has been experienced, this is within the context of an improvement in a client’s overall situation.

With follow-up assessments being undertaken an average of six months after case closure, this indicates strong maintenance of positive outcomes for clients.

0 6 16

Outcome Conclusions

This analysis of client outcomes is the first undertaken using Redditch Nightstop’s new set of measures. As a result, data is only available for a small sample of clients. Nevertheless, the outcome evidence for these clients show strong positive changes in a client’s holistic situation, positive change which is sustained beyond the period during which support is provided.

Those clients represented in the sample were typically engaged with Redditch Nightstop for longer than the average client engagement. These are likely to be clients with more complex situations at baseline, and indicates Redditch Nightstop’s positive impact for these clients. It will be important to focus on collecting a more complete data set during 2024-25, to enable the outcome analysis to more confidently assess the overall impact of the charity.

Results show the holistic impact of Redditch Nightstop support. For most clients, positive change is seen across all five outcome areas, and this positive change is sustained after support from Redditch Nightstop is completed.Where negative changes are experienced, these are within the context of an overall positive change in a client’s holistic wellbeing. This indicates that Redditch Nightstop is successfully delivering holistic support that enables young people to get the resources, skills and confidence they need to maintain safe and suitable accommodation.
