St Basils needs people who have a spare room and a caring heart to help us in our mission to reduce youth homelessness. Our Supported Lodgings scheme, Home-2-Home places people aged 16-18 (occasionally older) who have experienced family breakdown within the homes of Hosts/Host families. The impact of living with a Host can be transformational for a young person and it is a rewarding experience for a Host.
To become a Host, you don’t need professional experience of working with young people, although having an understanding of young people’s needs can help. Hosts receive full training from St Basils and are paid £140pw+ whilst a young person is in placement.
If you have an empty room in your house and a desire to help somebody in need, please get in touch via the button below, or email host@stbasils.org.uk /call us on 0121 772 9593.
By opening up your home, you could be the person who helps bring hope and makes a difference in a young person’s life.
