Information for Ukrainians

Support for you

The UK government has produced a guide for Ukrainians arriving in the UK which is available in Ukrainian and Russian. It also includes specific information for those arriving on the Homes for Ukraine scheme.

Barnardo's have also set up a free Ukrainian Support Helpline, which is staffed by English, Ukrainian and Russian speakers. To get help and advice on a range of topics, call 0800 148 8586, Monday to Friday (10am to 8pm) and Saturday (10am to 3pm).
