Ukrainian refugees given shelter in Dumfries and Galloway are expressing a willingness to find work to help pay their way while living here.
Around 660 Ukrainians are expected to be given shelter in the region for up to three years, and the number of resettlements has increased over the past three months.
Roughly 250 householders who have taken these people into their homes as sponsors were praised at Thursday’s full council meeting for their support and generosity.
