Friends International

We support international students in the UK. We do this through equipping and envisioning churches and volunteers to befriend and assist international students of all cultures and religions. We also organise a range of social events and activities for international students to be a part of. We operate in almost 40 university towns and cities across the UK, and have over 60 full and part-time workers befriending and supporting international students. Over 500,000 international students study at UK universities and some 400,000 come to study English in language schools. We want to give as many as we can a great time in the UK, chances to experience real British culture, and opportunities to hear about the Christian faith.
