Our Journey
USPUK’s founders established the organisation as a means of providing more effective information to Ukrainians fleeing the war about relocating to the UK under the newly established Homes for Ukraine scheme.
USPUK obtained charitable status and assembled a team of 10+ Ukrainian women with lived experience to guide displaced Ukrainians through the visa process.
2022
We established 'consultation desks' in refugee centres in Krakow and Warsaw. We began working with Citizens UK and a range of other organisations.
2023
Our partnership with Citizens UK and Communities for Ukraine facilitated the direct resettlement of 1000 Ukrainian families into UK host homes.
USPUK established its own Ukrainian Sponsorship Project to identify, process and match UK-based sponsors with displaced Ukrainians.
We set up a support hub in Lviv, Ukraine, expanding its reach.
USPUK launched its Afghan Resettlement Project, collaborating with More in Common to survey Afghans in temporary hotel accommodation to assess community needs.
USPUK continues to create and distribute crucial resources, actively partnering with other organisations to facilitate integration, including housing and employment opportunities.
We have delivered mental health webinars for families with children and teenagers, led by qualified psychologists, to support those facing emotional challenges when adapting to a new country. In addition, our employment webinar series helped communities build key skills in LinkedIn and CV writing. We also took part in the Refugee Job Fair in London, supporting community members to navigate the UK job market and access meaningful employment opportunities.
