Host appeal

We urgently need more Wrexham residents to sponsor a Ukrainian person or family, who have already arrived through the Homes for Ukraine scheme, to live with them in their home or in a separate property. £500 per month is paid to hosts as a ‘thank you’ payment.

To find out more, email homesforukraine@wrexham.gov.uk.

Wrexham County Borough has a long and proud history of welcoming refugees and others seeking sanctuary from conflict or persecution.

At Wrexham Council we are working hard to ensure new arrivals from Ukraine have the support and help needed.

If you’ve recently arrived in Wrexham, welcome. If you have any issues or concerns, please email us at homesforukraine@wrexham.gov.uk.
