Bright World Guardianships is celebrating our 25th anniversary in 2025. This means we have been providing international students attending UK boarding schools with a friendly and competent guardianship service for a quarter of a century.
This milestone honours the amazing families, schools, and students that have supported us along the way in addition to celebrating our longevity. Over the years we have placed thousands of students into families during half terms, exeats and when emergencies or the unexpected happens. This service sets us apart and we couldn't do it without our amazing host families.
Our wide network of carefully chosen host families is an essential and crucial component of our service. We have hundreds of host families across the UK. All of them show a commitment to caring from our students from the moment they apply. They understand that we need to follow strict Safer Recruitment processes and happily help give us all the information we need to make sure those are followed by the letter.
Our host families, situated across the UK, help us to provide international students with a safe, comfortable, and supportive environment when they are away from school.
Our host families offer more than just accommodation—they provide a warm welcome, care, and a sense of belonging, which makes half terms and exeat weekends enjoyable and provides a great break away from school.
If you are not yet a host family for us and you are interested in hosting international students, Bright World offers full support and guidance to start the application process and ultimately to become a host family.
Hosting an international student provides the opportunity to share your home, experience new cultures, and offer a young person a secure and welcoming environment. We are always looking for families across the UK to join our network.
It is true to say that it would not be possible to celebrate our 25th year if we didn't have such an impressive network of families. The warm welcomes offered by our families has shaped the experiences of thousands of international students, making their time in the UK truly special. We want to thank each and every one of you for being an integral part of the Bright World family.
