Does anyone know how to host a refugee in your home?

[Destinysdaughter]

I have a spare room and I'd like to be able to help someone who is a refugee but I don't know how to. Does anyone know of any organisations that do this?

You can register with your Local Authority if you want to host an under 18- speak to their fostering department. Currently lots of unaccompanied children are being dispersed throughout the UK.

Thank you, I don't really want to host an under 18 as I'm not a parent, really looking for adults.

Look into the Refugees at Home charity . I know they look for people to host refugees.

You register online and they will contact you

Be aware that it can be extremely difficult.

it also depends where you are in the country. Lots of local organisations.

Thanks for all the responses. I will look into it and I'm sure it won't be easy but I would like to help someone in v difficult circumstances.

Refugees at home is a great organisation. Everyone I know who has done it has found it v rewarding. Even Gary Lineker hosted a refugee!

It's an amazing thing that you are thinking of doing, OP. Thank you.
