Looking to hear about experiences from anyone who has hosted a refugee, eg through Refugees At Home https://www.refugeesathome.org/ Was the process straightforward, how long did you host for initially, did you extend the stay, and if it didn't work out what were the issues. Realise everyone's experience will be unique but thanks for any insights.

We signed up with them last year. Fairly painless process, social worker came around to assess us, all passed easily. Now waiting on a referral. Signed up for Ukraine scheme today too.


RaH have lots of examples online to read and the social worker who does the check on your house should give you a realistic assessment. I wouldn't expect it to always be comfortable but on the whole rave reviews and it is a good thing to do.

    • Thanks for the suggestions! If the Angel Oak is the pub on the edge of the Rye, it's probably not too far, but there might be more central (to East Dulwich) pubs to try first. No way will Nyge and I  ever  go to the Cherry Tree again, sorry. We had the most appalling Christmas Day meal there,   which cost us nearly two hundred pounds (for two people) without drinks. Our detailed complaints were never properly addressed, and my last email to the manager was never answered.
    • Looking for an iPod - preferably a classic - with at least 60gb storage.  Anyone have one hiding in a drawer? Thanks. 
    • Sorry to have missed this one but hope to make the next.  Re suggestions, is the Angel Oak too far?  Or the Cherry tree
    • Not strictly a new place but new to me: stumbled across a fabulous cocktail bar at 210 Rye Lane - we loved the gorgeous, eclectic interior, they make any cocktail you can imagine and will be doing small plates. Think it's called XOTO? opposite the Tesco express at that end of Rye Lane.
