Description

We match people who live alone (typically older people or those with disabilities) and have a spare room, with younger people who can provide an overnight presence, companionship and some help with household chores.

In exchange, the younger person will benefit from affordable accommodation for less than £300 per month.

No match, no fee

We don’t charge any fees until we find you a match. You pay around £99 per month to receive all the benefits of a Homesharing arrangement, including having us at the end of a telephone throughout the entire Homeshare process.

Bursary scheme

We also have a bursary scheme in place to help people with financial needs. Money shouldn't be a barrier to your Homeshare. Please do not hesitate to call us to discuss further in confidence.

How does it work?

It’s very simple - you fill in a form, and we’ll guide you through the rest.

Apply

Fill in the online form by clicking "Apply Now", or contact us directly via email or telephone.

Interview

We’ll meet you and assess your needs to understand what you’re looking for and who might be the best match.

Matching

We look and vet potential matches for you to consider.

Introduction

We arrange a meeting between you and your chosen potential homesharer.

Checks & agreement

We perform checks before finalising any written agreement.

Ongoing support

A reassuring presence for any issues that arise during the homeshare.
