Friends International

Growing Friendship and Faith with International Students in the UK and Ireland. Approximately one million international students study at UK and Irish universities and English language schools. We want to give as many as we can a great time in the UK, 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 40 university towns and cities across the UK, and have over 70 staff workers befriending and supporting international students. We are a registered charity in England and Wales (1094095), and in Scotland (SC 048838).
