Calling all Surrey residents!!! - Posted By g-net (g-net) on 4th Apr 13 at 9:42am
Do you love spending time with children and have room in your home to offer a friendly and loving environment to an overseas child studying in a UK boarding school, during their half term breaks and occasional weekends? Well, The Guardian Family Network - a company who provide loving and caring families to do just that - are looking for families across the local area and surrounding counties, to help care for children studying in UK boarding schools!
Being a Guardian Family for an overseas child studying in the UK, is an extremely rewarding and enjoyable experience; with relationships formed often lasting many years. If your own children are still at home, it’s a wonderful opportunity for them to make new friends and learn about other countries and cultures. Perhaps your own children have flown the nest, gone off to university and you now have a spare bedroom to put to good use. Or you simply like the idea of becoming involved in a young person’s life, supporting them at school and being their ‘English family’ whilst they are away from home. And although the role is voluntary, all incurred costs are covered by very generous expenses.
If you would like to know more about being a guardian, or you know of someone else who would, then please pop onto our website for a little more information: www.guardianfamily.co.uk

You can get in touch with Debbie Levey by email at: office@guardianfamily.co.uk and on 01865 522 066
Or speak to Sasha Wellings on: 07769 686 961

Thank you for reading!

I think this is a terrific noble initiative..I would certainly like to be a part of it in one way or the other..Young children coming from abroad and moving to UK often suffer loneliness and this is something that can help them there..
