PEOPLE in Bradford have been given advice on how they can offer a place in their home to Ukrainian refugees.
Migration Yorkshire have launched a Spotlight on Ukraine Facebook page, which gives information about the humanitarian crisis emerging from the Russian attack on Ukraine.
Residents can register offers of housing for refugees arriving in Yorkshire.
Migration Yorkshire says there will be displaced Ukranian citizens coming to the UK through a humanitarian route over the coming weeks.
The group says it is not sure of all of the logistics of how it will work just yet, but is compiling a list of possible destinations for Ukranian refugees.
People with housing offers in Bradford and Yorkshire can email admin@migrationyorkshire.org.uk
The details were shared by the Bradford Ukranian Club on its Facebook page.
Migration Yorkshire added in its Facebook post: "We will share information on how people can 'sponsor' Ukrainians to come to the UK as opportunities arrive.
"In the meantime, find out more about existing sponsorship opportunities."
The Home Office on Friday confirmed that 8,900 applications for refugees to come to the UK via the Ukraine Family Scheme had been submitted since Friday, but that only 300 visas had been issued.
