Hosts who have sponsored refugees to come to the UK under the Homes for Ukraine scheme say they have received “next to no help” as Ukrainian guests have been left stranded in their homes with no way of moving on AlannahFrancis1 reports:

The charity’s survey of 400 sponsors found a quarter of hosts whose guests were still staying with them said they were looking to move on, but only 14 per cent said they had support in relation, while 39 per cent said they had no help at all.

The level of assistance councils provide varies with some offering training and advertising support services, while other councils don’t even have contact details on their website, Refugees at Home said. It’s anticipated that issues and inconsistencies will be exacerbated as the funding councils receive per guest in 2023 is halved to £5,000.

A spokesperson for Huntingdon District Council said: “We are concerned that there is no funding beyond the first year for councils to support Ukrainians and funding for arrivals in 2023 has halved. We want to work with government to review funding to ensure all families are helped to find permanent homes, jobs and schools.”
