Wiltshire Host Families

14/06/2024

It's been an exceptional week for our Westbury group this week as their coach broke down in Bath and blocked the road, it was irreparable so the students were collected by our hosts who travelled late at night to collect them and some had a ride in a police van.

This Excellent report is for our Amazing Hosts, the emergency services and cool as a cucumber Coordinator Judith.

Please share with family & friends a lovely opportunity to get to know more about Italian culture and provide an English experience for 2 boys aged between 12 – 16.
This is an unusual group for us as they will arrive on Wednesday 3 July and stay for 14 nights.
Just like our short stay groups, they will be going out every day - either to school in Kings Bruton, or on trips. Drop off time will be by 07.40 latest to our Warminster meeting point, and collection around 18.30 .
This is a half board group (so no packed lunches required) and payment will be £484 total (tax free).
Please note that the boys can share a room but will need separate beds (bunks ok).
If you can help, or know someone who can, please contact Jo as soon as possible on 07707 704822 or email [email protected]

Our Westbury based students really enjoyed their stay this week & went home with some very happy memories.

If you have a spare room and would like to earn up to £304 tax free cash for hosting foreign students, aged 12-18, for 3-4 nights at a time then please get in touch.
The students go out every day on trips - so you will need to drop to the local Meeting Point at around 7.30-7.40am and collect them again from 6.30pm.
You need to take a minimum of 2 students (max 4). Hosts are also needed for the adult teachers.
Hosting is very flexible as groups only stay 3-4 nights then a new group arrives the following week. This means you can dip in and out to suit your work and life commitments.

Gill added a post to our Warminster Host Only group re her lovely students from Lens in Northern France. She said that during the stay this week there was lots of laughter and when leaving an emotional farewell, tears & a group hug. When the students arrived they gave Gill some lovely gifts and didn’t want to leave.

She went on to say that all the groups have been amazing. One student in a prior group, when she found out that she lived in Australia for many years and purchased a mango and Dragon fruit from their visit to Bath, to remind her of Oz. She and her family have really enjoyed time with all their student groups this year.

One of our Hosts in Trowbridge was over joyed to welcome the groups this week as she and the Group Leader have been friends since they met in London in 1997.

It was lovely to hear that they had a great catch up and to learn that the Group Leader said “how impressed she was with the welcome everyone received, she has organised more than 15 trips to the UK and our hosts were amongst the best ones she was ever assigned”

Our French students based in Westbury this week enjoyed a walk on the Westbury White Horse with gentle Storm. Storm is a Buddy Guide Dog and often visits the meeting point to welcome students & Hosts.

A Buddy Guide Dog is a friend for a child with sight loss. They help to develop their self-confidence, improve relationships and build a greater sense of trust, these dogs can have a hugely positive effect on a child’s wellbeing – and the family, too.
