14 November 2025 – Another successful match! Lovely feedback from M:

“Good news! I have found a homeshare out in Richmond that I will be moving into either early next month or in January. It’s close to my job and it’s in a lovely location close to shops that I don’t have access to currently.  It’s all very exciting and I couldn’t have found it unless Homeshare for Her existed, so thank you for this wonderful service!” – M
