“Becoming a host has given me the chance to share my hospitality and home with a community of older people who may not otherwise have the opportunity to connect socially with like-minded people”

“It allows them to forge friendships with others they can become familiar with on a regular basis.

“Over time, you become more than a host. You become a friend, too. The ultimate reward is when you end the day with guests who are well fed, smiling and looking forward to returning the following week.”

Sara supports families from Cranleigh, Ewhurst, Alfold, Rudgwick, Loxwood, Wisborough Green and surrounding villages.

“When I tell people what I do, the most common response is, ‘Oh, how lovely,’ and that’s exactly what it is. It’s more than a job. It’s about giving back to a community of people who deserve to get out and have a lovely day. I have the pleasure of being able to provide that. Their smiles at the end of the day are my biggest reward”
