A Government website where Brits can sign up to take refugees from Ukraine into their homes has been launched - but a key detail of the scheme was missing today.
The Homes for Ukraine website opened this afternoon for people to express their interest in hosting a family fleeing Ukraine. Refugees will be able to live, work and claim benefits in the UK for three years under a sponsorship visa - up from 12 months under a previous vow.
While visa applications under the scheme will open on Friday, they will only be for people who know by name which Ukrainian or Ukrainians they intend to take into their home, the Mirror reports. Those who want to accommodate a refugee, but do not know any Ukrainians, cannot yet be matched to those coming to the UK.
