Almost £300,000 has been awarded to a refugee charity to help resettle Ukrainians in Liverpool.
The register of contracts tendered by Liverpool Council show that hundreds of thousands of pounds were spent engaging Refugee Action to deliver resettlement support for the more than 150 people who have come to the city fleeing war. A total of £299,700 was spent via a four month initial contract in June.
Refugee Action helps those seeking asylum to build safe new lives. The national charity gives advice and guidance as well as helping children get into schools, support booking doctors appointments and ensuring people can get a hot meal.
