Support for Ukraine community update for hosts in South Cambridgeshire, as well as District Councillors, community coordinators and parish council colleagues.
We would like to wish all our hosts, and all the many organisations, groups and individuals who have worked so hard this year to accommodate Ukrainian visitors to our district, a very happy and relaxing Christmas. We are very grateful for all the many things you do for guests to make them feel welcome. This festive season is very much a time for family gatherings and will undoubtedly prove to be another difficult period for Ukrainian visitors who are unable to see and spend time with their loved ones and are worried for the safety and wellbeing of family members who have remained back in the Ukraine. We offer our continuing support and prayers for a resolution to the war in 2024.
We would also like to remind you of the service offered by our partners at Refugee Host Support which provides help 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The service is available to hosts and guests free of charge.
It includes:
- 24/7 assistance with unlimited access to accredited and qualified counsellors or psychotherapists.
- Cognitive Behavioural therapy to help overcome common mental health problems.
- Advice lines, including financial, legal, consumer and career advice.
- Discounts at applicable brands.
Please look at this video tour to view the full package of support that this service offers.

My kindest regards and best wishes,
