We would welcome support from Towns and Parishes that are able to provide:
- Intelligence on family arrivals, private fostering arrangements
- Ukrainian / Russian speakers that could potentially volunteer
- Signpost to info on our Ukraine page of the Wiltshire Council website and Welcome Pack (attached)
- Welcome Fund – Wiltshire Community Foundation is set up to support refugees and asylum seekers from other countries who are starting new lives here in Wiltshire and Swindon.
- Any offers of support or information please send to refugees@wiltshire.gov.uk
The Welcome Pack for Ukrainian Refugees is now live on the Ukraine page of the Wiltshire Council website. There is also a thank you video from Wiltshire Council leader Richard Clewer.
There has been a significant community response and sharing of information and insight from faith leaders, volunteers, hosts, and sponsors. The response has been that a central place (a community hub) where Ukraine Refugees can come, gather with other Ukraine refugees and hosts, and where there is a contingent of volunteers on hand to help access information and advice, as well as local resources, is very beneficial. Communities in Devizes and Salisbury have started to emerge and develop community hubs.
For those in the voluntary and community sector, some relevant information has been developed and shared by Wessex Community Action: Information & Guidance in Relation to Supporting the Unfolding Humanitarian Crisis in Ukraine. - Wessex Community Action
