Local Link Christmas Hosting Scheme
Christmas can be a difficult time when you're far away from home.
If you're staying in Sheffield over December and feeling a little lonely or missing your family and friends, join our Local Link for a new Christmas experience! You'll have the opportunity to visit a local host family's home, share a meal, experience British Christmas traditions, and make new friends.
It's a lovely chance to connect with local people, experience Christmas in a different way, and enjoy some warm hospitality.
Sign up here before 4 December (spaces are limited, so sign up early!)
