Help a Ukrainian refugee

We've all seen the awful scenes from the Ukraine, and it's truly heartbreaking as families flee the war. Russia's barbaric actions are decimating homes and communities throughout the country.

People, charities, community groups and businesses from across Plymouth can now record their interest in supporting Ukrainians fleeing the war.

You can apply to host a named refugee or refugees in your home, or another property, for at least six months. Refugees could be a friend, someone you are already connected with, or it could be someone you have been linked with by a charity, faith group or other organisation.

Each household housing a refugee will be offered £350 a month, tax-free. They will not be expected to provide food and living expenses but can choose to offer this.

Plymouth City Council is ready and waiting to support the refugees when they arrive in Plymouth.
