Refugees at Home connects hosts with a spare room to refugees and people seeking asylum in need of a temporary home and safe space. We don’t think people who come to the UK for sanctuary should end up on the streets. Our vision is for every refugee and every person seeking asylum to have a safe place to stay.
We recruit and support volunteer hosts who are willing to offer a temporary home and a helping hand. We carefully assess each guest and host, match according to preferences, advise on hosting arrangements and preparations, and provide ongoing support to hosts throughout the placement. Each placement is different, and the length can vary from a few nights to several months and anything in between; hosts decide how long they would like to host for. Hosting is entirely altruistic, provided by amazing volunteer hosts.
We are looking for new hosts with a spare
room in Sheffield (as well as London,
Manchester, Glasgow and other major cities
or towns) that are well connected and have good public transport links. This enables our guests to travel to college, school, support groups or jobs, and retain their independence.
By opening up their homes and welcoming guests from all nationalities, our amazing hosts are spreading hope and solidarity with refugees across the UK. If you are interested in doing something practical to support refugees, consider hosting with Refugees at Home.
