After facing criticism for its response to the refugee crisis triggered by the Russian war on Ukraine, the Government has launched a new visa scheme within the UK.
Now there will be no limit to the number of Ukrainian refugees who can live with UK families, and those who host will receive £350 a month from the government as a “thank you”.
Health Secretary Sajid Javid announced on BBC Breakfast that there would be “no cap” on the number of people who could be supported through the Homes for Ukraine refugee scheme so it’s hoped thousands of displaced people can benefit.
