FAMILIES are needed to host Italian students when they come to study in Worcester in July.

Worcester has been the chosen place for students from Bologna in Italy to study for a month for more than 30 years.

Now, International Study Programmes, based in Cheltenham, is appealing for local families to offer to host a student throughout July.

Host families will be paid £133 per week per student and students will have a full programme of study and leisure activities to take part in throughout their stay.
