The Boaz Trust has a network of volunteer host families in Greater Manchester.  These generous people offer accommodation to destitute asylum seekers in spare rooms. 

Our scheme is flexible, fitting to our host families needs.  Some hosts do emergency hosting for a few days, other host for a few weeks, other people are able to offer a room for months. 

Hosts are checked for their suitability & matched with appropriate guests.  Some prefer to only take women as they have children or are single women, that is fine and we always fit in with your needs.

Hosts and guests agree the ground-rules for a placement in advance. The guest might need to leave in the morning when the host does & return at a set time for an evening meal, or perhaps the guest stays in the home during the day. The guest might prepare meals independently, or take turns cooking the main meal, help out with household jobs etc.

To find out more about becoming a Boaz Host please contact the Boaz Office on 0161 202 1056 or office@boaztrust.org.uk.
