What we do

We are a Christian charity seeking to grow friendship and faith with international students in the UK & Ireland.

Over 700,000 international students study at UK universities and some 550,000 come to study English in language schools. 

We want to give as many as we can a great time here, chances to experience real local culture, and opportunities to hear the Christian message. Our activities are open to those of all faiths and none.

We equip churches and volunteers to serve, minister, and engage with international students, caring for them holistically. We also organise a range of social events and activities for international students to be a part of.

We operate in 35 university towns and cities across the UK and Ireland, through 88 staff (78 Staff Workers including 5 Directors, 9 Support Centre Staff, and 1 Admin Worker) befriending and supporting international students, and in a further 11 through our network of Affiliates.

We are a registered charity in England and Wales (1094095), and in Scotland (SC 048838).
