The UK and its allies condemn the Russian government’s unprovoked and premeditated invasion of Ukraine. Salford stands with Ukraine.
Whilst the war in Ukraine continues to destroy homes and lives, Salford is united in our support for the people of Ukraine.
Through the Homes for Ukraine visa scheme, we have welcomed over 300 Ukrainians to Salford.
It remains unsafe for people to return home to Ukraine, and many people still need a safe and secure place to stay while they find their feet in the UK.
If you’re a Salford resident, you can help support Ukrainians using the Homes for Ukraine scheme. Adults and families who want to be sponsored by a UK household can apply to the Homes for Ukraine scheme.
Until 1 April 2025, sponsors/hosts were eligible to receive thank you payments of £350 per household during the first 12 months of a guest’s arrival in the UK, which increased to £500 a month once guests had been in the UK for 12 months.
After 1 April 2025, sponsors/hosts will be eligible to receive £350 a month per household, irrespective of how long guests have been in the UK.
To receive the payment, you'll need to provide your bank details and complete a declaration form. We will contact you directly to get this information.
You can find more information about becoming a sponsor on the GOV.UK website.
Homes for Ukraine for children – For anyone who wants to sponsor children who are under the age of 18 and not travelling with or joining a parent or legal guardian in the UK.
