Homes for Ukraine

Chris Cookson is a Support Officer with Bromsgrove and Redditch Councils working to assist our guests on the Homes for Ukraine scheme, fleeing the ongoing conflict in their home country.

Chris writes:

As part of the Homes for Ukraine scheme, individuals wishing to resettle in our area must first identify a host family. Following the initial surge of registrations, the number of available hosts has since diminished. To support this vital program, the Government offer a thank-you payment of £350 per month to hosts, which increases to £600 after the first six months of agreed hosting. Hosts are asked to provide a safe and welcoming environment for their guests, and in many cases, these arrangements evolve into lasting friendships.

I would be grateful if you could share this appeal for additional hosts with the members of your Parish. If anyone is interested, they may contact me directly via the email address provided below or visit the official Homes for Ukraine page on the GOV.UK website for further information.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you.
