HOST families in Bromsgrove and Redditch are needed for visiting French students.

Students are visiting the area for the third year running, having in the past explored Midlands attractions including Cadbury World and William Shakespeare’s home.

Nine host families are needed to house 18 students visiting between July 9 and 22.

Organiser Lisa Mistry said: "This is a great way to exchange language and culture, although you don't need to speak French. Your hospitality will be financially rewarded.”

To help, call Lisa on 07702 504495 or email l.mistry@aol.co.uk.
