See Set up Family Sharing - Apple Support. The implication from this section is that the organizer should have an Apple device:


Start a family group

One adult in the family – the family organiser – can set up Family Sharing for the group from their iPhone, iPad, iPod touch or Mac. If you turn on purchase sharing, you'll be asked to confirm that you agree to pay for purchases initiated by the family members you invite and that you have a valid payment method on file. Valid payment methods for setting up Family Sharing include credit cards and debit cards.

The only solution was to sign in on a spare apple device using the family members new Apple ID (they don’t own an apple device). I T then airdropped the invite to the spare apple device. They where able to join clicking the link. Apple do not provide sharing access from an Android device using the link generated by the sharing invitation.
