You’re looking at footage of Ukraine and once again, feeling helpless. We are not helpless. Citizens across the country have stepped up before to create a movement to welcome refugees and we’re going to do it again.
The Communities for Ukraine programme is a collaboration between two charities, Citizens UK and Ukrainian Sponsorship Pathway UK (USPUK), that have been awarded ‘Recognised Provider’ status by the UK Government to match refugees with host sponsors under the Homes for Ukraine scheme. The programme provides an ‘end-to-end’ supported process for Ukrainians and gives dignity and agency to refugees from the time they consider coming to the UK, through to their arrival and resettlement in a new home. This is made possible by the crucial role of strategic partner organisations which each commits to finding hosts for 50 refugees in their network.
