THE MOST
VULNERABLE

The UKUATogether team took away the burden of the visa application process, which takes hours, and supported us with our adhoc questions and queries pre-and post our guest’s arrival. We are incredibly grateful for the team’s support and are humbled to be able to make a positive difference.

Alexandra

The community that UKUATogether have created is incredible for the Ukrainians that have come here but also for the hosts, it feels that nothing is too daunting and there is always someone to help answer any questions.

Lilly

UKUATogether have helped the Ukrainian family we have hosted with micro financing (loan and grant). This has allowed them to buy a car and be able to be mobile and find employment in the countryside.
