Homeshare's benefits are far-reaching, including help at home, offering someone an affordable place to live, friendship, sharing life experiences and so much more!
That's why this #homeshareweek2025 we're celebrating "people living together, making a difference together".

International Day of Older People aims to raise awareness of opportunities and challenges faced by ageing populations, and to celebrate the vital role that social connections play in our lives.
It aligns nicely with #homeshareweek2025. Celebrating cross-generational support.
This Homeshare week, Leeds Homeshare are celebrating the time, skills and friendship, that people bring to Homesharing.

Thoughts on Homesharing from a Leeds Householder:
"I need help in the home, and I've got space in my home...
