A new refugee scheme has launched in the UK allowing families to put themselves forward to host Ukrainians fleeing the war.
The Homes for Ukraine programme will enable people, charities and community groups to help refugees with no links to the UK to arrive here. Previously Ukrainians had to apply for a visa and it was limited to those with family members here.
From today people can register their interest in offering shelter to refugees, then from Friday the process of matching Britons with Ukrainians fleeing the conflict will take place, according to Michael Gove.
