How you can support the people of Ukraine


Become a sponsor

To travel to the UK on the Homes for Ukraine scheme, Ukrainians require a sponsor who will provide accommodation for a minimum of six months. This can be a spare room, multiple rooms, or an entire home.

As a ‘thank you’, the government provides a payment of £350 per month.

Register your interest in the Homes for Ukraine scheme on the government website.

Finding a Ukrainian to sponsor

When you register your interest to become a sponsor, we will try to find an appropriate match from the Ukrainians who have contacted us.

If you want to find someone to sponsor yourself, read the government’s guidance on how to find a guest using recognised providers.

Host Ukrainians already in the UK

When sponsors can no longer provide accommodation, Ukrainians sometimes look for new hosts. This means people do not have to move from an area where they have formed friendships and secured jobs, and where their children have started school.

Register your interest in the Homes for Ukraine scheme on the government website.

Support guests from Ukraine as a private landlord

We are always searching for more properties to house people who have fled Ukraine.

If you have a property to let, consider renting it through our letting management service, Townhall Lettings, which matches local landlords with people who need a home.

Apply for a grant to fund community activities to support Ukrainian refugees

Community groups supporting Ukrainian refugees can apply for funding from our Resettlement Community Grants scheme.

Donate money

The Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC), a coalition of 15 leading UK charities, has launched a collective fundraising appeal to provide food, water, shelter, healthcare and protection.
