A British man who has travelled to Poland to "proactively search" for a Ukrainian to whom he can offer a room has criticised the Government's lack of guidance on the issue. Max Fox is in Przemysl, near the Ukrainian border, where he is helping humanitarian efforts through the Caritas Internationalis charity.
He said he would like to offer space in the two-bedroom flat in Poulton-le-Fylde, Lancashire, that he shares with his husband, Arturo Echeverria. "I'm hoping today's the day that I find somebody... I'll be proactively searching today," the 32-year-old told the PA news agency on Friday.
The first phase of the Homes For Ukraine programme allows UK sponsors to nominate a named Ukrainian or family to stay with them in their home or in a separate property. However, those offering to host will be vetted and Ukrainian applicants will undergo security checks.
