How it works
Our team will work hard to get you the right match.
You will get to meet the Homesharer to see if you are compatible and you will decide if the match is right for you or not.
If you are both happy with the match, together you will agree what support (at least 10 hours a week) the Homesharer will give you.
The Homeshare team are on hand to offer guidance, advice and support when you need it.
