This Saturday, February 3, at 2:00 pm at Cathedral Centre, 3 Ford Street, Salford, M3 6DP, you are invited to a Homes for Ukraine gathering hosted by SJOG and CSAN. 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. SJOG Homes for Ukraine is a programme run by St John of God Hospitaller Services (SJOG) in partnership with Caritas Social Action Network (CSAN). We offer a matching pathway and training and support programme for sponsors and individuals displaced by the war in Ukraine. 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. They will discuss the current situation in Ukraine and why there is still a pressing need for people to come forward and host families from Ukraine. They will talk through our matching service, who is eligible to be sponsored, and some key considerations before deciding to host. You will find a wealth of useful information about hosting that will give you a clear understanding of what hosting is and isn't, to help you decide if it is right for you. This is a great opportunity to learn about Ukrainian refugees in the UK and ask any questions you might have.
