…He was a lovely guest – I hope every thing will soon work out for him. I cannot think of anything R@H could have done differently.  I am always impressed by how efficient and thorough you are – I’m sure it cannot be easy with plans (guests and hosts) changing all the time.  Keep up the good work.

Both my nine year old and A are singing Oh Holy Night with their respective choirs and I found them practicing, singing in harmony together by the fire. They should bottle that when people ask what it’s like hosting a refugee at home.

“You guys are doing a great job, changing people’s lives and helping those in need and vulnerable. So thank you God”

“I really appreciate all the support I had. Thank you so much and all the thanks goes to Refugee at Home, you are doing a great job”.

“Although it has been months and years since our previous encounter, I would like to let you all know that I include you all in my prayers everyday. Sometimes while prayer, I think back to the times when I was homeless, penniless and vulnerable. You all played a massive role in getting me on my feet”

“Thanks so much for creating this opportunity – I have been wondering how to help, and how to honor my grandparents who got taken in by strangers when they first came to London. “People speak really highly of the way that Refugees At Home is run, and I’m really glad to be a part of it.”

“Currently hosting in South Wales and it’s wonderful. If you are hesitating, don’t. Jump in. I think we are getting more out of it than our guests! We don’t want them to leave!”

“Once again, all of us are incredibly grateful for the brilliance that is Refugees at Home, your unflagging patience and refusal to accept that there can never be a solution. It is always a pleasure working with you and without this support I don’t know how we would have been able to help F”

H has gone from being a very anxious and unhappy young man to a one bursting with life. We are really grateful for your significant part in this. Even if things don’t go well for him in terms of immigration, his life here has been made meaningful.

Huge thanks to you all and the hosts for all the fantastic support provided to her through hosting. Having stable, safe accommodation for the first time in her journey in the UK has been huge, she has grown in confidence and we can’t thank you all enough.

“Refugees at Home is the only good thing that has happened to me since I arrived in the UK”

"I have a 7 year old daughter so asked Refugees at Home to be mindful of this. They introduced me to the perfect guy, who stayed with me and my daughter for an extended period of time. R.A.H handled the situation perfectly and it worked out great. Maz was a great influence on my daughter and became a friend of mine. It was good to help and make a difference. Keep up the good work.

Just wanted to say a huge thank-you for accommodating R through your hosts the last couple of months. He has spoken so highly of his time with both T and H and I cannot explain enough how important this relaxing and safe environment has been as he prepared for his case – and all the added stresses that came with it. This has been a brilliant springboard for him to take the next steps forward with his life, and in the continuation of good news, we discovered last week that he has also been status! So multiple reasons for celebrations! We absolutely love all the work you do and as ever are beyond grateful for helping us plug gaps in service provision that enable us to be able to keep working on people’s cases.
