Dragons’ Den star Steven Bartlett has signed up to offer his home to a Ukrainian family fleeing the war.
The entrepreneur and author, 29, said he had applied to the Government sponsorship scheme and hoped to house refugees in the spare room of his home. As part of the scheme, members of the public must provide accommodation for at least six months and will receive an optional tax-free monthly payment of £350.
Bartlett is the founder and former CEO of social media marketing agency The Social Chain, which he set up from his bedroom in Manchester. He said he would donate the money to the Disasters Emergency Committee, which is carrying out work in Ukraine.
