HOST Nottingham was jointly set up in 2011 by Nottingham Arimathea Trust, Nottingham and Notts. Refugee Forum, Refugee Action, Rainbow Project, the British Red Cross and Himmah, to co-ordinate the provision of hosting in Nottingham. We provide training and support for those who are able to provide temporary accommodation in Nottingham and their guests. The 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 and matched with appropriate guests. 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 and return at a set time, or perhaps the guest stays i the home during the day. The guest might prepare meals independently, or take turns cooking the main meal, etc. If you can't spare a room, there are plenty of other ways to help m
