Extract from letter sent to local authorities by Michael Gove:
… today I am announcing a new sponsorship scheme, ‘Homes for Ukraine’.
This scheme will allow Ukrainians (and their immediate family members) with no family ties to the UK to be sponsored by individuals or organisations who can offer them a home such as a spare room or unoccupied residential self-contained unit. The scheme will be uncapped. Beneficiaries will be able to live and work in the UK for up to three years and also access benefits, healthcare, employment and other support. Our aim, through this route, is to offer a safe, warm welcome to as many arrivals as possible, based on the number of sponsors who come forward.
Read more about this scheme on the Government website, and register your interest.
