Crisis talks were held in Dumfries today as the region prepares to welcome Ukrainian refugees fleeing war in their homeland.
The multi-agency Resettlement Project Board will focus on helping the new arrivals settle in with local families putting them up under the UK Government’s new Homes for Ukraine scheme.
Stakeholders Dumfries and Galloway Council, the NHS, DGHP, Police Scotland and the Scottish Refugee Council were expected to attend the summit.
