HostNation befriending

We are looking for compassionate, friendly people in the Borough of Ealing who can spare a few hours a week to befriend a refugee over a three month period – be a friendly face, check in on them, have conversations so they can practise their English, show them the area, help them explore British culture and way of life. We do the introductions and support the relationship during this time.
