SHROPSHIRE Council is waiting to find out how it can help people feeling Ukraine as the war develops.
The council says it has been watching the events in Ukraine with horror and bewilderment.
It says that it is keen to support those fleeing the awful events that are unfolding, and have received significant requests for information and support both regarding donations and the rehousing of refugees.
The Council says that it will, when able, use its extensive knowledge and experience in working with and resettling Syrian and Afghan families to also support those families and individuals fleeing Ukraine.
Shropshire Council is still waiting on further information following the Home Secretary’s statement on humanitarian support and will continue to work closely with the Home Office and the West Midlands Strategic Migration Partnership to understand the offer being made by the Government and how the council can assist.
