Welcome to asylum seekers and refugees
Can I find a friend through HostNation?
You need to be an asylum seeker or a refugee, 18+ yrs, living in London, Greater Manchester or Tyneside.
You need to speak reasonable English and have a mobile phone.
Normally you will need to be referred, but a few people can self-refer. Please click on the boxes below:
We help find local friends for
refugees and asylum seekers.
​
It's a great way to find out about life here in the UK,
to practise your English and to explore new places.​​

Pinar &
Rebecca
We will introduce you to one another. You then meet face to face for outings to places like local cafes, parks, markets or museums.
You both start with a promise to meet regularly for three months. Many of our friendships go so well that they continue for years!
