RESIDENTS, charities, community groups and businesses from across Plymouth are being asked to sign up to record their interest in supporting Ukrainians fleeing the war.
Phase one of the Government's Homes for Ukraine scheme allows anyone in the UK to apply to host a named refugee or refugees in their home, or another property, for at least six months. Refugees could be a friend, someone you are already connected with, or could be someone you have been linked with by a charity, faith group or other organisation.
Each household housing a refugee will be offered £350 a month, tax-free. Householders will not be expected to provide food and living expenses, but can choose to offer this.
Anyone interested in offering a rent-free space in their home or a separate residence, can now register their interest online at a Government website (see below, right).
