Ukrainian Sponsorship Project

We support displaced Ukrainians to find safe homes in the UK under the ‘Homes for Ukraine’ scheme. We were awarded ‘Recognised Provider’ status by the UK Government, which enables us to find and recruit UK hosts and match them with displaced Ukrainians under the Homes for Ukraine scheme. Our team of consultants provides information and guidance to displaced Ukrainians, identifies and vets prospective sponsors, ‘matches’ guests to hosts and assists them in applying for their visas and journeying to the UK.

Afghan Resettlement Project

Led by our team of Afghans with lived experience and launched in June 2023, this project provides resettlement support to Afghans who have come to the UK on the ACRS and ARAP pathways. We recently conducted a survey to understand the main concerns of and challenges facing Afghans who currently remain in temporary hotel accommodation in the UK. We have used the results of this survey as the basis for our approach to the resettlement project, and we continue to do so. USPUK is now actively working with the Afghan cohort to find viable solutions for sustainable living in the UK.

Our Key Objectives

We established three central objectives as a focus for our work: to inform, integrate and communicate with displaced communities of Ukrainians and Afghans.

Inform

We aim to bridge information gaps between displaced peoples and life in the UK, focusing on essential needs and piloting innovative solutions for housing and employment. We utilise a variety of online and offline platforms to provide this crucial information to displaced communities.

Access support

Communicate

We have designed our communications strategies to amplify the voices of displaced communities, sharing stories of success and celebration and raising awareness of ongoing challenges.

Integrate

We offer comprehensive support to displaced individuals, from guidance on visa applications and employment opportunities to our Ukrainian Sponsorship Project, aiming to foster meaningful integration that is a vital component of both lives and livelihoods.
