You can use this service to record your interest in becoming a sponsor, either as an individual or as an organisation External Hyperlink .

The Homes for Ukraine Scheme External Hyperlink is designed to support Ukrainians with no ties to the UK. This scheme is currently focused on private individuals offering accommodation through a sponsorship scheme.

If you are interested in providing housing for refugees, please follow the links above and contact Hampshire County Council.

Further information about Hampshire's response to the Ukraine crisis is available on the Hampshire County Council website External Hyperlink .

For Ukrainians who are already in the UK, there are the following 2 options available:

Ukraine Extension Scheme

This scheme is now only open with effect from the 16th of May 2024 for children who are born in the UK. You can apply for your child to have permission under the Ukraine Extension Scheme if both of the following is true:
