World Friendship
House, a hostel
for overseas
students in
Liverpool, was set
up by the Reverend
Sydney T Goddard
and his wife Mrs
Cicely Goddard in
1959. This
venture had the
support of the
Lord Bishop of
Liverpool at the
time, Dr Clifford
Martin. By the
time the Hostel
eventually closed
in 1983, it had
provided
accommodation and
care for students
from 156 different
countries and many
faith
backgrounds.
World Friendship
now continues to
support
international
students in
Liverpool
institutions by
making grants to
help in cases of
unexpected
financial
difficulty. We
accept the
Christian duty to
care for those in
need whatever
their background
and we are aware
of the many
problems which can
arise for students
far from home. In
helping students
to complete their
courses and return
home with the
qualifications
they sought, we
also help the
countries from
which they have
come.
We hope that by
demonstrating
practical
Christian care for
overseas students
we can contribute
to international
friendship and
understanding.
We are able to
make one-off
grants typically
of about £500.
Grants vary
according to
circumstances and
to the funds we
have available. We
give priority to
students from
outside the
European Union
where help from us
will make a
difference to
prospects of
successfully
completing their
courses.
Please
note
the following
points:
We help students
at Liverpool
institutions of
higher
education
who are from
overseas and
who will return
there afterwards,
if
they are
experiencing
problems which are
unexpected and have
arisen since the
start of their
course.
We make grants to
students
from any faith
community.
Because our funds
are
limited our
main
focus is on
students who are
near the end of
their courses.
We do not
normally
help students
from the European
Union.
We do not award
scholarships, or
sponsor
students
ourselves.
For that
reason, we do not
accept individual
applications from
overseas. Our help
is for those who
are
already studying
in
Liverpool.
We do not
make grants to
those whose
institution
of study is
outside the
Diocese
of Liverpool.
