Bath and North East Somerset Council has now launched the second round of the Ukraine Support Fund. This funding is open to charities, voluntary groups and community groups, to support the integration of Ukrainian refugees into local communities and support their wellbeing.
The funding can be used to help with housing, organising community events or accessing translation services.
BaNES Council is particularly keen to fund organisations that are offering support in the following ways:
Assisting with ongoing housing needs
Help in recruiting new landlords
Help for getting guests tenancy ready
Organisations can apply for up to £500 for a one-off event, or up to £2,000 to establish new services or extend an existing one.
Applications are open now, and can be made at https://beta.bathnes.gov.uk/apply-ukraine-support-fund until March 31st 2023. Please note, applications will close earlier if all funds have been allocated.
