National and local guidance is being developed at pace currently regarding sponsorship and support processes to support refugee families locally and we will use this page to provide the latest updates as they emerge.
Please note the UK Government and leading charities are emphasising that cash not goods is the best way to help at this stage.

Ukrainian Refugees
English Lessons for Refugees – Every Monday at 1pm – Zink HQ
No need to book, just turn up. Three qualified teachers will provide lessons for anyone from complete beginners to those who just need to learn the local dialect.
Website: www.zink.org.uk
Address: Zink HQ, Market St Car Park, Clough St, Buxton SK17 6LJ, Open 10-4 Mon – Fri.
The Bureau, Glossop have been running an English language support group for Ukrainian guests and would love to have someone to help us continue to provide this essential group.
If you, or anyone you know has taught English overseas, or is TEFL or ESOL trained, please let them know.
It would be so valuable to be able to carry on this brilliant session, which currently meets on a Wednesday at 13:30 in central Glossop. If necessary, this could be rearranged.
Derbyshire County Council Refugee Response
Donations
Lots of people have donated items to the Ukrainian refugee appeals. Currently, aid agencies are requesting that people donate money to their websites, rather than donating ‘physical items’.
Due to lack of storage and the cost of transporting goods, the most accessible and immediate way to support people is by donating cash to registered charities and recognised international aid agencies.
Here are some of the organisations currently helping Ukraine:
How to Donate
Unicef: Donate to protect children in Ukraine
Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF): Donating to the Ukraine crisis
