Homes for Ukraine
Homes for Ukraine is a scheme set up by the UK government, in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine to allow members of the UK public to volunteer to take in a Ukrainian refugee. It has facilitated over 200,000 visas being granted.
The Lab has been researching the experiences of sponsors who volunteered as part of the Scheme using qualitative research methods. It has assembled the largest qualitative dataset on this issue.
