Looking for a refugee to host...

 If anyone here knows of a refugee (either a single young adult or adult, or a mother with a child around age 7) who would like to come to England, then the system for getting here is gradually improving and visa applications are getting easier.  Still not perfect, but people are actually arriving now.

 

We're intending to host as soon as we can actually make contact someone who would be happy with us.

We're a slightly odd family, so we've avoided 'blind hosting'.  There is (as of several days ago) a matching service up and running, but it all takes time...  We're registered with it, of course.

We're vegetarian (apart from very rare occasions), serious about minimising our carbon footprint (Ie. slightly obsessive about things like minimising hot water usage, not flying - except to escape from bombing... - closing doors to keep heat in, etc.)  We're also dead serious about wanting someone who will respect LGBT people.

On a more relaxed front...  We enjoy gardening, board games, folk dance, astrophysics, knitting, weaving, researching Mars, going for walks, more board games, and playing with our 7 year old granddaughter.

We only have a single room to offer, and it would be shared kitchen and bathroom facilities, so it will be fairly squashed.  But we're friendly, willing to help our guest discover the local area, guide them through paperwork, help with learning English, and there are other people where we live who are also hosting refugee families.
