HOST welcomes international students in the UK! HOST is a voluntary organisation, a network of UK residents who welcome adult international students to their homes for a weekend, or Christmas visit. The purpose is to give students an insight into the way of life in Britain. Students also share their own culture with their hosts. By helping students far from home to feel welcome in the UK, HOST contributes to international friendship and goodwill. On Facebook? Become friends with HOST! You can find us by searching for "HOST Charity" and adding us as a friend.

International students– now that you are in the UK, would you like to receive an invitation to visit a host for a weekend or Christmas? VISITS ARE FREE. If you need help with the cost of your travel or application fee, please go to Students Home page to see what help is available. UK residents – could you be ambassadors for Britain, by making students welcome, and briefly sharing your daily life with them? Hosting with HOST is an unpaid voluntary activity, and no long-term commitment is required. University officers – do you want to enhance your international students' experience in Britain? Are you looking for unusual voluntary work which you can do at home? Would you like to support an unusual charity, making a real difference to international relations? HOST was established in 1987 by the British Council and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. Could you help to make HOST better known? Please visit our press page for information, stories and pictures.
