HostNation: linking Friends In Deed since 2017
We are a small charity with one simple mission: to find friends for refugees and asylum seekers.
Contact us: info@hostnation.org.uk
What we do
We connect socially isolated asylum seekers and refugees with volunteer befrienders. We operate in London, Greater Manchester and Tyne & Wear.
Through careful matching with friendly residents, we aim to give refugees a positive experience of our cities, a pathway into our communities and a relaxed space for practising English.
​
Our founder, Anneke Elwes, was experienced in befriending refugees and knew there were many altruistic people willing to step up. So HostNation was born, and we have fast become a wide family of flourishing social connections.
