I welcome the UK Government’s Homes for Ukraine Scheme, which will allow individuals, charities, community groups and businesses in the UK to bring Ukrainians to safety – including those with no family ties to the UK.

SPONSOR REQUIREMENTS
Sponsors can be of any nationality, with any immigration status, provided they have at least six months’ leave to remain within the UK.
In the first phase of the scheme, sponsors will need to have a named person who they wish to sponsor. This could be a friend, or friend of a friend, someone they are already connected with, or it could be someone they have been linked with by a charity, faith group or other organisation. The visa application route will go live on Friday 18th March.

Any individual, charity, community group and business across the country can record their interest at:
