Friends International is a Christian charity seeking to grow friendship and faith with international students in the UK & Ireland. We want to give as many international students as we can a great time here, chances to experience real local culture, and opportunities to hear the Christian message. Our activities are open to those of all faiths and none. If you have any questions, you can email raquel@friendsinternational.uk 

There are several opportunities for international students to take part in discussion groups to find out about the Christian faith. There are weekly Bible discussion group meetings during UEA term time. The groups meet in a local home and a free home cooked meal is provided.
