Ukrainian refugee schemes and re-matching

Charnwood Borough Council is committed to supporting refugees from Ukraine. There are two Government refugee schemes. More details are below.

Homes for Ukraine

The Homes for Ukraine scheme invites people to apply to sponsor a named Ukrainian and their immediate family to come over to the UK. You must be able to provide accommodation for at least six months.

If you want to offer a home to people fleeing Ukraine, you can register your interest in becoming a sponsor. You can do this as an individual or as an organisation.

Reset - a matching and training service for sponsors and refugees

Reset have launched a matching and training service to pair sponsors and refugees under the UK Government’s Homes for Ukraine scheme. It has mobilised experts in safeguarding to assess sponsors and refugees to make sure that the matching is suitable.

Reset will also provide a training service, drawing on the expertise of Refugees at Home, for sponsors, local authorities, and community groups.
