Camden Council would like to invite you to an urgent community meeting to discuss how Camden can support the resettlement of Ukrainian refugees and the wider humanitarian response.
We have all been following the events in Ukraine and devastating humanitarian impact with deep sadness. We know that a large number of people have already been displaced and current intelligence suggests that between 1 million and 5 million Ukrainians could be displaced, although the situation is evolving quickly.
Guidance on the various routes available for Visa support are outlined here. A new ‘Local Sponsorship Scheme’ has been established, which will match people, charities, businesses and community groups to Ukrainians who do not have established families in the country, so they are able to come the UK. Details of the scheme can be found here.
We’d like to hear your views on how Camden might respond to the local sponsorship scheme and about the role you’re able to play in this, and in engaging support for the wider humanitarian response.
We hope that you will be able to attend to provide your valuable insights and input.
The meeting will take place on Tuesday 15th March at 5pm. The meeting can be accessed through this Zoom link.
Best wishes,
Georgia
Cllr Georgia Gould
Leader of Camden Council
