In response to the “pressing need” for people to host families from Ukraine, there will be a Homes for Ukraine gathering in Salford on February 3.  

The Homes for Ukraine gathering, which takes place at 2pm at the Cathedral Centre on Ford Street, aims to provide a clear understanding of “what hosting is and isn’t.”

The gathering will further discuss who is eligible to be sponsored and some key considerations before deciding to host.

SJOG Homes for Ukraine is a programme run by St John of God Hospitaller Services (SJOG) in partnership with Caritas Social Action Network (CSAN). They offer a matching pathway and training and support programme for sponsors and individuals displaced by the war in Ukraine.

SJOG stated: “Nearly two years since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the number of those still wishing to evacuate and find refuge in the UK continues to be high.

“We support people on their journey and provide opportunities to integrate into community life in the UK. During this information session hosted by SJOG and CSAN, we will share with you the successes of our project in supporting over 200 Ukrainian refugees since September 2022.”
