Refugees at Home is a UK-wide charity that connects people with spare rooms to refugees in need of a temporary home. 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 are looking for people in Greater Manchester with spare rooms to join our network of amazing volunteer hosts.

What we do:

We carefully assess each guest and host, match according to preferences, advise on hosting arrangements and preparations, and provide ongoing support.

Each placement is different, and the length can vary from a few days to several months and anything in between; hosts decide how long they would like to host for, and we are flexible around availability.

What you can do now:

Have a read of our website & host information page: https://refugeesathome.org/get-involved/get-involved-id-like-to-host/

Request a callback to speak with one of the team: https://refugeesathome.org/call-back-form/

Email us if you have any questions at all: info@refugeesathome.org
