Do You Have A Spare Room?
If you have a spare room in your house plus space in your family and heart to welcome a refugee into your home there are a few ways to do so:
Local Authorities are always looking for families who can provide a good and supportive home for young refugees under 18 who have come to the UK by themselves. Through fostering or supported lodging you can provide a home for these teenagers as they find their feet with living in the UK.
Another option is offering your home to ‘Refugees at Home’ who connects adult refugees and asylum seekers to those who have spare rooms. Although not directly linked to us, it is a great way to welcome refugees into your home in a safe way
