Guidance

Find a sponsor using recognised providers: Homes for Ukraine

Information about the approved organisations that can help you find a guest or a host.

This page provides a list of voluntary and community sector organisations running programmes which help to match people coming from Ukraine with sponsors in the UK and help people living in the UK to become sponsors, as part of the Homes for Ukraine scheme.

Some of these organisations are also helping those currently in the UK under the Homes for Ukraine scheme to find new hosts if they are no longer able to continue living with their original sponsor (which is called rematching).

These organisations have experience working with sponsors and people fleeing conflict, and their services are free to use.

These organisations can also support sponsors and guests by providing information on what it’s like to be sponsored in the UK, or what it’s like to be a sponsor. Their websites contain helpful guidance, information, training, and toolkits.

These organisations cannot provide sponsors or guests with immigration advisors and cannot guarantee to find guests sponsors in the location of their choice.

If you have a concern about the service a Recognised Provider is providing, first contact the organisation directly to see if it can be addressed that way.

If your concern relates to a potential safeguarding or safety risk to guests or sponsors, please inform the Homes for Ukraine scheme at homesforukraine@levellingup.gov.uk.
