    They have started slowly coming in to host families in the UK, who receive £350 per month.
    I was asked to assist a Ukrainian women who is in Seaford, East Sussex, and a friend of mine knows her father and asked me to help. In this case she is 23 and worked in admin and graphic design, and I managed to introduce her to other Ukrainians who are settled in London. I found that internations.org was useful in doing this - i cross referenced to linkedin and was able to extend her network.

    International House are going to give her free English lessons.

    She is shell-shocked and in such a short time saw that the office building that she worked in was bombed by the Russians, and she has expressed despair.

    If any of you, decide to take in, a refugee, I can suggest resources.

    There's 2 Ukrainian refugees in my old village in the north-east of England, plus a Ukrainian cat. Massive support for them over here, i have joined the protesters outside the Russian Embassy, I parked next to this vehicle the other day and there's a big Ukrainian flag flying in the neighbourhood.
