Somerset support for Ukraine

Latest national and local advice and information

Somerset has a proud record of welcoming refugees and we are united in support for the people of Ukraine.

Somerset County Council, Mendip District Council, Sedgemoor District Council, Somerset West and Taunton Council, South Somerset District Council, the Somerset NHS Clinical Commissioning Group, Avon and Somerset Police, and local charities and community groups are all working together to carry out checks and help Ukrainian refugees settle safely in Somerset.

If you have been matched as a sponsor using the Government’s Homes for Ukraine scheme, please get in touch with us using this online form. This will help us to book your property checks and to understand the needs of the person or family you are sponsoring.

Find out more about how the UK government is responding.
