Homeshare
Homeshare enables two people to share a home for mutual benefit. Typically, an older person living in their own home with a room to spare will be carefully matched with a younger person who will provide an agreed amount of support in exchange for good quality, affordable accommodation.
To learn about the project itself visit: Gwynedd Homeshare .
To learn about Homeshare Gwynedd contact Richard, the co-ordinator, by emailing: homeshare@gwynedd.llyw.cymru
International students should seek advice on their visa from the International Student Support Office before considering taking part.
