Earn extra income and share your culture — right from your home.
If you live in Nailsea and have a spare room, becoming a host family is a rewarding way to meet international students and visitors while earning extra income. As a host, you provide a welcoming home environment where guests can feel safe, supported, and immersed in everyday British life. Whether you’re hosting students attending language courses, professionals on short-term placements, or cultural exchange visitors, your hospitality makes a real impact.
Why Host an International Student?
Hosting a student isn’t just about providing a room — it’s about welcoming a young person into your life and helping them feel at home in a new country. As a host family, you can:
Create lifelong international friendships
Share your culture and learn about others
Help a student adjust to life in the UK
- Earn additional monthly income
What's involved?
You don’t need special training — just a friendly attitude, a comfortable home, and a spare room. Host families are asked to:
Provide a clean, private bedroom
Offer meals (typically breakfast and dinner on weekdays, and full meals on weekends)
Create a welcoming, supportive environment
Be open to cultural exchange and communication
