Knock, knock
Some of the adults from overseas who are currently studying at UK universities would love to spend a couple of days at Christmas in a real home, rather than on a deserted campus. It is interesting to share Christmas with people for whom it is all quite new (many international students are from China, for example).
HOST has been linking students with hospitable volunteers for 22 years and is a registered charity backed by the Foreign Office and many universities.
