A recent survey of Ukrainian guests welcomed to Brighton and Hove over the past year has revealed that housing is a key concern for many refugees. The survey, which was designed with the Ukrainian community and translated into Ukrainian, aimed to gain a deeper understanding of the experiences and concerns of Ukrainian refugees to help plan future support.
The survey found that an overwhelming majority of Ukrainian refugees feel very welcome in the city, with the support of a host identified as the most positive factor after their arrival. Accessible education, a safe and friendly environment, and community support were also recurring themes in guests’ testimonies, providing encouraging feedback for the city’s commitment to building a sustainable welcome infrastructure for refugees as a City of Sanctuary.
