Can you host someone from Ukraine?
There’s an urgent need for sponsors. If you can offer a room, register via the Government portal—local authorities will guide you from there.
Getting Ready to Host
- Check resources from City of Sanctuary and The Sanctuary Foundation (when hosting children).
- Boost cultural awareness with Country Navigator and the UK–Ukraine Culture guide.
- Full guidance from the UK government on eligibility, applications, and welcoming guests is available here.
