Support for Ukrainian people in North Surrey

We offer social, practical and employment support to people from Ukraine settling into everyday life in the UK.

Our drop-ins are friendly, informal places where people can meet other Ukrainians. We can also connect people with local organisations which can help with finding work, applying for financial support and other help people might need such as access to food banks.


How we can help:

  • Employment support 
  • Translating support
  • Access local foodbanks if you are in need of food
  • Free SIM-card on arrival for first 6 months
  • Information about local drop-ins to meet with fellow Ukrainians 
  • Local council representatives on hand to give advice on council-related services
