Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether her Department has plans to implement a scheme through which UK firms can sponsor Afghan citizens in need of relocation, in the same manner available for Ukrainian citizens.

Community Sponsorship provides the opportunity for friends and neighbours, charities and faith groups to play a direct role in supporting families resettled to the UK as they restart their lives here. Community Sponsorship has been extended so sponsor groups can support a family through the Afghan Citizens Resettlement Scheme.

The Home Office has set up a webpage which allows members of the public and organisations to make offers of employment and housing:
