Become a Host Family
Hosting is a hugely rewarding experience, for both your guest and for you as a host. It also gives an opportunity for you to have an additional income, which will in most cases be tax-free. It's important to add that not every home is suited to hosting and therefore we need to choose our host families carefully - we don't want you or our guest to be disappointed. It is important to note at this point that even though we refer to host 'families' we have plenty of single people who host - you do not have to have a partner or children.
The majority of our guests are international students. They choose to stay in a family home instead of a student residence because they want to be immersed in the British culture, practising their spoken English with a friendly family who will involve them in everyday life. In reality, that will probably mean spending some time together over meals and perhaps occasionally inviting them to join you in some family activities, such as watching a film, going to Mumbles, or taking a stroll! Guests sometimes stay with families on a self-catered basis and so if committing to meal-times is a problem for you then don't worry as we may still have a guest for you!
We are looking for hosts that are flexible, caring and friendly. If you think this could be for you then please take time to read through our website, then complete the online Application Form. We'll then contact you regarding some more of the specifics of hosting and whether we can take things forward for you to start receiving guests. That process will involve a home visit from us.
We look forward to hearing from you!
