Over the past few days, Ukraine has faced another wave of heavy missile and drone attacks. Families in Kyiv and other regions have again been waking up to air raid alerts, damaged homes, and uncertainty about what comes next.
As this is still ongoing, our focus stays the same: protecting vulnurable, making sure Ukrainians have a voice in our communities, and helping people gain the skills and opportunities that lead to work, stability, and dignity.
Could you offer a spare room?
Could you share our appeal with someone who might host?
Could you donate to help us keep supporting displaced families?
Our recent matching updates:
Olha and Oleksandr’s family of five from Kyiv were matched with sponsor in Argyll & Bute, Scotland. The family hope to find safety, stability, and the chance for their 3 children to continue their education and childhood in peace. They are now working towards the next steps of the process.
Maria, a 21-year-old law graduate and neuropsychology student from Ukraine, arrived in Bournemouth, where she is being hosted by host family. She had been continuing her studies in Kyiv, but the worsening missile attacks and power outages made it increasingly difficult to study safely.
Iryna and Valentyn, a young married couple and former military service members, arrived safely to Dorset. They had been living near the border between the Dnipropetrovsk and Donetsk regions, in an area constantly affected by shelling. Read their story
We also want to give a special thank you to Peter and Jenny, our wonderful volunteers, who are kindly hosting for the third time with USPUK. Their continued support means a great deal to our team and to the families starting again in safety.

For your safety, we strongly recommend arranging matches only through a verified provider, such as USPUK. This ensures you receive full support and that your guest is genuinely based in Ukraine and has been carefully verified by our team. All our services are completely free of charge for both sides, but we do welcome donations to be able to continue our life-saving matching service.
If you know any Ukrainian, who is unsure where to seek advice or how to find a sponsor, please encourage them to contact us directly at [email protected] for a free and professional advice in Ukrainian language.
