Homes for Ukraine
Homes for people displaced by the war in Ukraine
Homes for Ukraine: SJOG and Caritas Social Action Network (CSAN) are part of the Community Sponsorship movement in the UK offering a matching, training and support service to sponsors and guests under the Homes for Ukraine Scheme.
Together we are working to enable the many generous people willing to open up their homes as sponsors and match them with people displaced by the war in Ukraine. We aim to support people on their journey and provide opportunities to integrate into our community in the UK.
If you would like to be considered as a sponsor, or be sponsored, please use the links below to register your interest. We will work as quickly as possible to contact every applicant and to start the matching process.
Funding:
Small Grant Application Form: ‘Ethnic minorities group grant application fund"
To support the Bassetlaw Ukrainian and wider social inclusion response welcome event activities, applications are welcomed from Bassetlaw voluntary and community sector organisations through micro-grants. Please note that grants are not available to individuals.
Grants will be available during 2022/2023 (in line with funding limitations) and will be considered on a rolling basis throughout the year.
Forms received by the end of each month will be reviewed and agreed within 5 working days where appropriate. Please note that all funding received should be spent within 1 year of receipt and a short evaluation form (including proof of spend) will be required.
The maximum available per organisation is £500, however it is anticipated that the maximum will only be allocated in exceptional circumstances eg. if an organisation is supporting a variety of activities.
You can fill in our online application form here.
