Host families achieve a real sense of fulfilment from having supported and helped someone else on their education journey in the UK. Being a host family can really mean making life-long friends. We have heard of host families attending university graduation ceremonies, visiting the student's family in their own country and staying in touch for many years. We know that students and their host families often stay in contact for life. For the children of the host family it is very good for education and their personal development. Members of the host family also learn about different cultures. Staying an a British home is a very enjoyable different experience for them. Life back in their home country is usually quite different with different customs and habits and houses just look different. For a student, living in a British host family can be a totally new experience. Students and host family members alike learn a lot about different cultures. Having had so much feedback from our host families over the years, we are aware that as well as offering a valuable extra income for the family, the experience is very fulfilling. There are countless benefits of hosting students for Bright World. Please do get in touch to see if we need families in your area. Other families have older children who may have left home and who would like to offer their spare room to an international student. Some of our families have children at home, others are families who love animals and have pets and we also have some that don't. We have students from many different nationalities and of all age groups so we are always looking for different types of host family. We are always looking for hosts around the UK who would like to offer a room and a home from home to one of our international students. With so many preferences around location, host family lifestyle and rooming options, we need a good range of families in every area. Students deserve a break from their school routines and we want them to really enjoy their exeat weekends and half terms. Although holiday accommodation is only part of what we do overall, for many parents and students, their allocated host family is definitely the most important thing for us to get right. We really could not have a guardianship company if we didn't have a network of excellent host families.
