USPUK Turns 4: Thank You for Being Part of the Journey
March 2026 marks four years of USPUK, which for our team means four years of standing alongside displaced people from Ukraine and Afghanistan as they rebuild their lives in the UK.
Back in 2022, USPUK was set up by a team of lawyers, entrepreneurs, journalists, technology, recruitment, and finance experts to help Ukrainians displaced by the war. We helped Ukrainian refugees to explore resettling to the UK, through help desks at refugee centres in Warsaw and Krakow, and through an online service available to Ukrainians regardless of location.
We mobilised our resources and networks in the shortest possible time to respond to an urgent and unfolding crisis. At the time, we could not have imagined that our services would be needed for so long. We have since expanded our support to include the Afghan community, continuing to grow our presence across the UK and respond to the evolving needs of displaced people.
Today, more than ever, we are proud of the journey we have made. We are proud to continue standing alongside refugees during one of the most challenging periods of their lives in an increasingly uncertain world, offering not only practical support, but also stability, guidance, and a sense of community.
Continuing our work in host matching, resettlement, and community advice, a key focus for us recently has been strengthening employment support. Through collaboration with employment solicitors and partners such as the Work Rights Centre, we have built our capacity to provide guidance on contracts, right to work, unfair dismissal, and routes to further legal support. This enables us not only to inform, but to empower individuals to make confident decisions about their futures.
If you’d like us to continue our work please consider giving a small donation via verified donation link or through Crowdfunder.
Your support will help us sustain our team with lived experience providing advice and guidance to thousands displaced people in the UK every month. Our support helps refugees feel more independent, secure meaningful employment, and rebuild their lives with confidence.
Thank you for standing with displaced families and following our updates.
Wishing you a great start to your year,
