Leisa Miroshnichenko is organising video calls to connect UK residents with Ukrainian refugees under a new emergency housing scheme launched by the UK government.

Last week, she organised a video call between the two Ukrainian families and two neighbours in Scotland, Sally Eady and Marie Hendry. "They had the life they had, the education, they had their jobs and then they lost everything and they have to start again from zero," Ms Miroshnichenko said. The scheme, which opened on March 14, allows strangers to sponsor Ukrainian citizens to stay with them at their home for a minimum of six months, for a payment of 350 pounds per month.

"There is no formal central system of matching the people on the register to those in need, which is pretty extraordinary," she said.
