The Ukraine Sponsorship Scheme (Homes for Ukraine)
91Â鶹ÌìÃÀ is proud to be a City of Sanctuary and has a long history of welcoming asylum seekers, refugees, and migrants fleeing war and persecution to start new lives in the UK.
The information on these pages will help Ukrainian nationals arriving in 91Â鶹ÌìÃÀ under the Homes for Ukraine Scheme to find out about services and support that will be available.
Below, we have displayed information separately for sponsors and guests. Much information will be of interest and relevant to both parties, so feel free to browse both guides.
