Host Homes: Who Can Apply?
Is it for me?
Diversity is key to our programme and that's why we're keen to recruit a wide range of people to provide our volunteers with host homes. Previous hosts have included a retired widower of 75, and a Major and his wife who lived in a castle - variety is, after all, the spice of life!
You’ll need to live in or near the community that the exchange is based in. Its important that the volunteers can get to their volunteer placements and other activities so ideally hosts shouldn’t be too far away from the community base.
The volunteers will need their own room so you’ll need to have a bit of extra space in the house. We can’t allow volunteers to share a bed but if you’ve only got one bed don’t worry we can provide a camp bed for you.
The most important thing to us is that you're open to taking the volunteers in and sharing your life and community with them. Each relationship and home is different but if you think it might be for you then let us know and we’ll be happy to talk it through with you.
Once you confirm your interest the programme supervisor will arrange to meet you and you can talk through what's involved with them.
