I know many of my constituents have been in contact wanting to donate their time, money or home to the people of Ukraine. Please find details below:
- Volunteer: Warwickshire Community & Voluntary Action (WCAVA) has volunteer Coordinators in each District/Borough. The names and contact details of the coordinators are on the WCAVA website https://www.wcava.org.uk/volunteering
- The Government strongly recommends that, wherever possible, organisations and people who would like to help donate cash rather than donating goods, through the Disasters and Emergencies Committee campaign and other trusted charities and humanitarian aid organisations. Cash can be transferred quickly to areas where it’s needed, and individuals and aid organisations can use it to buy what’s most needed. The Government has offered to match-fund donations to the Disasters and Emergencies Committee campaign up to £25m. Details of the appeal and how to donate can be found on www.DEC.org.uk.
- Homes for Ukraine: Phase One of the UK government’s Homes for Ukraine scheme opened on Friday,18 March for visa applications from those who wish to travel to the UK and who have named people in the UK willing to sponsor them.https://homesforukraine.campaign.gov.uk/
