Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what support she is providing to (a) Refugee Action, (b) City of Sanctuary and (c) other charities supporting Ukrainian refugees.

DCMS is supporting DLUHC in its work with charities who have a vital role in helping to shape the Homes for Ukraine scheme including the support for Ukrainian refugees in communities.

This is in addition to the government matching pound for pound the public’s first £25 million for the DEC Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal – the UK’s largest ever aid-match contribution - now surpassing £200 million.

We have a long standing relationship with the sector and the Voluntary and Community Sector Emergencies Partnership. We will continue to work together with charities in the coming weeks to support the Homes for Ukraine scheme.
