DearSir / Madam,

I am writing to request your support in promoting our programme for individuals displaced by the war in Ukraine. OurCatholic charity,St John of God Hospitaller Services,together withour partnersCaritas Social Action Network (CSAN)is currently running aHomes for Ukraine programme,which provides temporary housing and support for Ukrainian displaced individuals as they adjust to life in the UK.

Our purpose

The purpose of our programme is twofold – to evacuate people from thewarzoneand prevent homelessness amongst those Ukrainians already in the UK.The programmehas received funding fromThe AlbertGubayFoundation and the Department for Levelling up, Housing and Communities.

How to help

We believe that the church community has an important role to play in supporting and advocating for refugees, and we would greatly appreciate any assistance you could offer in spreading the word about our programme. This could include sharing information about our programme with your congregation through announcements, mailing lists, or displaying our posters on your parishnoticeboard and website(social media, newsletters and parish magazines).

Get in touch

Kindly let me know if you might be able to support our mission in this way, and I will be happy to send you further information that you might need. In the meantime, I am attaching a document with general information about our scheme.We will also send printed posters and leaflets to your church.

If you have any feedback or further questions, please don’t hesitate to get back to me and the team and we’ll do our best to help you.
