Westminster Homes for Ukraine

Find out what help and support is available as part of our Homes for Ukraine scheme.

How can I become a sponsor?  

The Homes for Ukraine scheme offers a unique opportunity to positively impact someone's life during a challenging time. 

If you already know the person you wish to sponsor

If you know your guest already, you must ensure they apply for their visa through GOV.UK. You may also initiate the application on their behalf if you wish to do so.  

Once the application is made, the government with contact our dedicated Ukraine Response Team will contact you to guide you through the next steps and discuss your interest further. 

If you do not have an individual or family to sponsor or if your previous hosting arrangement has ended 

If you would like to support someone fleeing war by offering your home and do not have an existing match, you can either record your interest on the GOV.UK or get in touch with the team directly. We will do our best to match you with a guest who has already arrived in Westminster and may need alternative accommodation. 

What happens if you don't have an individual or family to sponsor or if your previous hosting arrangement has ended
