LANCASTER and Morecambe people are being urged to 'host' a foreign visitor in their homes this Christmas.
A charity organiser is looking for families to take in guests for three of four days.
They will be adult students studying at universities in the UK - and there are already some 60 families, says Jean Johnson.
She is the local organiser of the group HOST, a national organisation helping students from overseas.
But she urgently needs more volunteers this Christmas.
Jean says: "It's unusual to invite a stranger from another country to your home to share your Christmas festivities - but it can also be rewarding."
She says every effort is made to match the interests of students and their hosts before a commitment is made.
To find out more, call Jean on 01524-63689.
