Haringey Supports Ukraine
Haringey's Response
We are working with local groups to support a coordinated approach to people fleeing Ukraine and neighbouring countries by providing support and preparing for people arriving in the borough.
The Leader of Haringey Council, Cllr Peray Ahmet, brought a meeting of Eastern European and Voluntary and Community Sector (VCS) groups together on Thursday 3 March alongside Chief Executive, Andy Donald, to have a conversation about the needs among people in Ukraine, Ukrainian refugees and neighbouring countries.
We have worked to create a local response by:
- Giving our residents a chance to become sponsors and offer a space in their home
- Reviewing registrations for Homes for Ukraine sponsors as part of the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities
- Creating bespoke guidance documents for arriving Ukrainian residents – this will include guidance on life in our borough as well as advice on applying for a job or a school place
- Working to establish Ukrainian Support Networks through meeting with the VCS groups to support the response
- Setting up a multi-disciplinary team to co-ordinate our response
We will continue to develop and update this web page with all the relevant information.
