Homes for Ukraine Communication Support
Free support is available for Ukrainian guests and their hosts under the Homes for Ukraine Scheme to help maintain positive relationships and manage the challenges of sharing a home or living in temporary or private rented accommodation.
We can support people with one-to-one meetings to understand the issues and explain the service we can offer, tailored to meet individual needs. This can include supported meetings with all involved or a series of individual sessions. Our service is confidential, non-judgemental and impartial. Taking part is voluntary and we can provide our service in several different ways to make sure it is safe and accessible.
You can self-refer, or signpost anyone who is part of the Homes for Ukraine Scheme, within East Sussex who is experiencing either difficulties between host family and guests, or guests and the immediate community.
To have a chat about our support, or to make a referral, please contact the service listed below. If you are making a referral on someone else’s behalf, you must seek their consent to do so. If you prefer, you can also text 07378 175699 in any language and we will get back to you.
