More than 40 households in West Lothian have offered shelter to Ukrainian refugees as national plans are finalised and West Lothian Council sets up a team to liaise with them and voluntary groups providing support.
A report approved by the local council’s Executive heard that the required checks and liaison with registered host families can now take place following Scottish Government guidance.
The council had been awaiting clarity from the UK Government and Scottish Government on funding, which has now also been received, after delays in both the UK Government’s Home for Ukraine Scheme and the Scottish Government’s Super Sponsor Scheme.
