Support for Ukranians
Since the outbreak of the war in Ukraine, Southampton has welcomed hundreds of Ukrainians and helped them to build new lives in the city.
This has all been thanks to the incredible support of Southampton sponsors, who have generously opened their homes and made people from Ukraine welcome in our communities.
Southampton is a proud city of sanctuary, so to make it possible for people to continue living here, more homes are needed.
Becoming a sponsor
If you would like to be a sponsor, and benefit from welfare and safeguarding checks, help from partner organisations across the city, plus £350 a month to help cover your costs, please record your interest.
Thank you for your support.
