There is an ongoing need for more sponsors to come forward for the Homes for Ukraine scheme in Warwickshire.

Since 2022, residents across Warwickshire have opened their hearts and homes to people fleeing the war in Ukraine. Thanks to the generosity of local hosts, hundreds of individuals and families have been able to find safety, rebuild their lives, secure employment, access education and become valued members of our communities.
However, the need for hosts continues. Some families and individuals still require accommodation, while others need a new hosting arrangement as their current placement comes to an end. A spare room can make a life-changing difference.
As one Warwickshire host shared: “Hosting was one of the most rewarding things our family has ever done. What started as offering a room became a friendship that will last a lifetime.”
Many people worry that hosting will be difficult, but you are not expected to do it alone. Warwickshire’s Homes for Ukraine team provides ongoing support to both hosts and guests, offering guidance, advice and practical assistance throughout the hosting journey.
Even if you are unable to host yourself, you can still help by sharing information with friends, community groups, faith organisations and local networks. Every conversation helps us reach people who may be able to offer a safe place to stay.

Together, we can continue to offer safety, stability and a warm Warwickshire welcome to those rebuilding their lives after displacement.
