Ukrainian Refugee Host Support Network and a Ukrainian Refugee Befriending Scheme

The Homes for Ukraine Scheme was launched on the 18 March 2022 by Central Government to facilitate re- location of displaced Ukrainian refugees who sought to escape the current conflict in Ukraine. Under the Homes for Ukraine Scheme local authorities were additionally responsible for supporting integration of the Ukrainian refugees into their local community with a view that they can proceed to successfully rebuild their lives. In order to facilitate such a service the City Council seeks to utilise grant funding to enable a supplier to assist with the delivery of this scheme to build upon the local community and establish relationship with those impacted.
