My team recently helped my constituent, Karl Stubbs, to get his Ukrainian parents-in-law Nikolai & Galina here from Krakow.
Karl is really keen to do more to help support those Ukrainians coming here - via both the Ukraine Family Scheme and Homes For Ukraine - so I was delighted to meet him this morning and endorse his proposal for a Support Hub for Ukrainians coming to the Newcastle area.
This would be a mixture of a social environment, possible English lessons (and Ukrainian lessons for children), and general help and advice with settling in to life in the UK.
I hope Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council can assist in finding suitable premises for Karl’s vision.
