Ukrainian resettlement programme: using our well-developed and successful model of crisis and integration support, ACAA will launch a Ukrainian Crisis Support Programme in West London offering face-to-face support for those able to access our centre (note: West London and the surrounding accessible counties like Hants, Surrey, Herts, Bucks and Herts are already providing 9,672 family homes to support new refugees but little support is available to them). We will work closely with East European charities and refugee organisations, like the AUGB (the largest representative body for Ukrainians in the UK), Euromaidan (Ukrainian community groups in London and nationally), Ukraine Advice Project UK (a group of volunteer legal professionals with immigration and asylum expertise), East European Resource Centre (EERC) and the British Red Cross, as well as other VCS organisations like Citizens Advice and local authorities UK-wide, to ensure the needs of newly arrived refugees from Ukraine are met. The programme will include: Initial Crisis Support to newly arrived refugees at our current centre in Feltham, West London, on an outreach basis at the homes they are staying in and at local community centres across the area. This will involve initial orientation, provision of essential goods, help during their temporary hotel-stay/home stay; "Homes for Ukraine Scheme" information and advice, medical help if needed and initial counselling for urgent mental health issues. Face-to-Face Resettlement Support to refugees remaining in London, which involves Immigration and Financial information and support, English language classes, IT skills training, Work skills training and support into paid employment, Longer-term mental health counselling, Sports and arts activity clubs, and Community integration support. Outreach Resettlement Support to refugees across the UK via (a) Outreach activities across the country working closely with key partners to deliver this, and (b) Telephone/social media/web-based helpline.
