HOST A REFUGEE

Refugees at Home is a small UK-based organisation that connects people with a spare room in their home with asylum-seekers and refugees in need of accommodation.

Could you be a host?

Refugees at Home host, Bryony explains:

​"There are no strict criteria to be a host... You can be single or in a relationship. There’s no maximum age or minimum age. I was 18 when I started hosting and the oldest is 94. If you’ve got a spare room (or even just a sofa bed for an emergency case)… that’s all you need."
