UPDATE 22nd March 2022
The Steering Group met again last night and are able to publish the results of the recent report which shows that many households are preparing to offer accommodation. This report is now being taken to the Statutory Agencies, Community Groups, health and social care providers.
​
We have broken up the creation of the support network into different tasks and will be making contact with providers of help and support during these coming days.

Co-ordinating the Community Support
The community response to the displacement of Ukraine Nationals, has been amazing. We have noticed and appreciate the huge outpouring of generosity from our community to the need to provide accomodation and sanctuary for refugees fleeing the terrible war in Ukraine.
