The sponsor payment request application has been updated to a new online form, so from now on you must use this form to make your monthly claim. We will no longer be able to accept applications on the paper version.

Completing the form for the first time

Even if you are requesting an ongoing payment, please complete the form as if it was your first request.

Ongoing payments

Once you have used the online form for the first time, in subsequent months you will be sent an email to remind you to submit a request for an ongoing payment.Payments are made one month in arrears from the date your guests arrived at your property, and can only be paid once the initial accommodation and DBS checks have been undertaken as well as a satisfactory welfare visit check, which will be carried out on our behalf by the Teignbridge Community Voluntary Service  (CVS).

We are able to make a payment of £350 for each full month that you are hosting guests in your home. To do this we will need details of your bank account. You must ensure you tell us if the individual or family you are hosting leaves.

We have decided to increase the monthly payments to all of our Hosts to £500 from your October 2022 payment, as a further ‘thank you’ for your ongoing commitment and to help support you through the current cost of living crisis.
