We are a refugee-led organisation standing alongside forcibly displaced communities in the UK since 2022. We provide free, accessible and culturally sensitive support in Ukrainian, Dari, Pashto and English.
Universal Sponsorship Pathway UK (USPUK) is a grassroots organisation run by people with lived experience. Through sponsorship matching, info campaigns, and community-based projects, USPUK helps to reach safety, access vital services, and rebuild new lives in the UK.
Our integration and support activities empower refugees to navigate UK systems, connect with local communities, and gain the stability and opportunities they need to thrive.
Through guidance, support, and the building of empowering networks, we seek to help not just survive but thrive, integrate and flourish in unique and meaningful ways.

Support for Ukrainian refugees
USPUK is a team of dedicated community consultants with lived experience of resettlement willing to share their knowledge, experience and compassion with other displaced people and help them to resolve complex issues they are facing. We identify and address needs of the community we work with in order to improve their daily lives and remove the barriers.
General Community Advice
We assist with enquiries and applications regarding a range of public services, helping displaced people to navigate complex systems and getting the aid they need
Employability Support
Connecting displaced people to essential UK job resources so they can compete confidently and build stable lives
Helping Ukrainians find safety in the UK
As an authorised partner of Homes for Ukraine Visa Scheme we help Ukrainians affected by war to come to the UK by finding a sponsor and facilitate the resettlement process. We do not provide immigration or legal advice, but we can signpost you to verified charities who are dealing with it.
Access to Information for Afghan refugees
Our Afghan project primarily supports Afghan refugees and families who are already living in the UK. USPUK cannot arrange evacuation, humanitarian visas or resettlement from Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan or other countries, and we cannot assess individual immigration or nationality cases.

Become a host
The role of a host, or sponsor, is to provide a safe and secure new home for displaced Ukrainians in the UK. Sponsors commit to hosting guests for at least six months, during which time they support their guests and help them settle into their new lives in the UK.
