Shropshire Council have launched new Support Hubs in Shrewsbury for Refugees from Ukraine and launch of Homes for Ukraine website for Shropshire
Shropshire Supports Refugees have opened two support hubs in Shrewsbury with help from Shropshire Council and the town centre management team.
The hubs offer a place where individuals and families can get together to socialise, make new friends and seek support, including accessing clothes, toys, food and sim cards for mobile phones. Both hubs have become very popular and are being well attended, with an average visitor attendance of 30 to 40 people a day.
The hubs have also been offering training sessions for hosts and volunteers. Libraries as well as local leisure and tourism organisations are also offering their services to help Ukraine guests access visitor attractions and integrate into the local community.
In addition to the two hubs in Shrewsbury, three more are being planned, and will be opening up in Ludlow, Oswestry and Wem next week.
Shropshire Council has launched a dedicated website: Homes for Ukraine | Shropshire Council for both host families and refugees, which includes advice and information on all the support available, in English, Ukrainian and Russian, to help Ukrainians resettle in Shropshire.
The website will be updated as and when we receive further guidelines from the Government, and as the local scheme develops.
