A Bristol based charity currently working with Ukrainian refugees in Warsaw is urgently seeking new hosts who can open up their home to those fleeing war. So far 'Love Bristol' has been responsible for matching over 500 refugees with UK hosts but in the last month it has been a struggle to find enough.
As the war continues and more people continue to become displaced, they are “badly in need of people who can host them for at least 6 months,” said Love Bristol Assistant, Hannah Lawrence. Under the Home for Ukraine Refugee scheme, UK hosts will receive £350 a month in expenses.
Bristol based sponsors Rebecca and Adam who are currently hosting a Ukrainian family, said the experience has been positive. The couple who have three children themselves are hosting a couple and their two children who have their own living space on a separate floor of the Bristol family's home.
