I would like to host
Thank you for considering opening your home to those fleeing the conflict in Ukraine. This is a significant commitment and it’s important to ensure you fully understand the responsibilities this involves. Before you register your interest we would encourage you to first take a look at the sponsor toolkit produced by RESET to help you decide if hosting is for you: https://resetuk.org/toolkits/homes-for-ukraine
There are multiple sites on social media offering to match potential hosts with those seeking shelter from Ukraine. However, in order to maintain everyone’s safety and minimise the risks to all those involved we recommend you only register your interest with one of the following partner organisations:
RESET
SAMARITAN'S PURSE
There is also a wealth of additional information, webinars and resources available. We highly recommend those developed by RESET and The Sanctuary Foundation as you progress through the various steps from VISA application to welcoming refugees on arrival.
RESET
THE SANCTUARY FOUNDATION
If you would like support as you navigate this process, the Refugee Working Group is available to help. Although individual members of the group have not been through the process personally, they are willing to journey with you as you complete your application. If you would like to contact a member of the working group, please leave a message at the church reception on 0121 501 3542 or email info@lifecentralchurch.org.uk
