HOST is a charity which encourages international friendship and understanding by arranging for adult international students to spend a short time in a British home. We are always grateful to welcome new hosts on board so they may meet interesting new people and exchange culture and customs.
London 2012 brought talented people to Britain. But did you know this happens every year? Thousands of bright young men and women come to study at our universities. Sadly, most have no contact with British people outside the campus. Some miss their families; many are curious about the real life of Britain. That’s why HOST arranges for them to spend a day, weekend or 3 days at Christmas as guests in hospitable homes. This is a great opportunity to get to know someone from another country, and help them to feel welcome. As a volunteer host, you could enjoy introducing a student of your choice to your way of life and perhaps to their very first Christmas. Please call HOST 020 7739 6292 or see www.hostuk.org.
