Information for Hosts

Hosting is a big commitment. Our hosts tell us it is also incredibly rewarding, that it can lead to amazing friendships, and that it is an antidote to political despair. All placements are fully supported by our dedicated local staff and volunteers.

New hosts are provided with training to ensure there is complete clarity about the role and are provided with a host “buddy” for ongoing support. We are very clear that hosting is a temporary solution and not an endless commitment for our hosts. We work with our guests to ensure there are “move on” options and hosts determine how long they are happy to host for. We welcome hosts who are able to offer emergency and respite accommodation, as well as those prepared to host for  longer.

If you would be interested in talking to us about hosting or volunteering with us, please contact us at <hosting@asylum-welcome.org> or call us on 07952 101 544. You can also fill out our online application form.
