Preparation for Guest
The Government have provided guidance for sponsors, including eligibility criteria, how to apply and advice. You can find this information on their website.
Sponsoring a refugee is a commitment that needs careful consideration. If you are considering hosting a guest from Ukraine, you may wish to read No Accommodation Network’s Hosting Toolkit. The Sanctuary Foundation is also providing information for hosts.
The No Accommodation Network (NACCOM) provides a wealth of information for those supporting refugees, & asylum seekers.
Thrive LDN and partners have also put together a guide for supporting the mental health and wellbeing of Ukrainians arriving in the UK. It includes advice on creating a safe a welcoming environment for arrivals, training and e-learning courses on understanding refugee and asylum seeker mental health and if needed, will signpost you to NHS mental health services as well as other community support services.
