Is there an organisation to mediate summer children 1to1 exchanges?

Hi there!

As the 'cousin-who-lives-in-the-UK', this year I've been tasked with finding solutions for my little cousins (well, actually, my cousin's kids, but I treat them like cousins) to learn English in the UK.

One of them is a 14 year old boy who would like to do a brief (2-3 weeks) exchange with someone their own age. Basically, 2 weeks the UK family hosts my cousin and then they go back together and the Spanish family hosts the UK boy (girl is fine too, I'm sure).

If I had friends who had kids that age, I would go down that route, but most of my friends have got toddles so not a good match ;P

Does anyone know if there are any (not extortionate) agencies/organisations that help families find a match?
Or a website where you can do it for free (or nearly so) yourself?

Thanks a lot!

Oh, head of languages sound like a good idea!
The only issue is that I live in a fairly 'boring' place, but if he wants to practice English, I guess that's the best he can ask for ;) and besides, it's nice for his mum to know I'll be close by...
I'll investigate this option :)
Thanks :)
