Organisation description

Homeshare Leicestershire connects people wanting companionship and some help around their home, with people looking for affordable accommodation.

Homeowners are people who live in their own accommodation. They have a spare bedroom and are happy to share other areas of their home such as the kitchen and the bathroom.

In return for 10 hours a week of assistance with cleaning, cooking, shopping or companionship, Homesharers can enjoy rent free accommodation with our homeowners.

Homesharing is a cost-effective way to support adults to live independently in their own homes and provide low cost and well-maintained accommodation for homesharers.
