Activities
Our main activities and services are described below.

USPUK Journey | History & Key Learnings: Shaping Impact Through Insights
In the days that followed the outbreak of war in Ukraine, the founders of USPUK were quick to act, arriving at the Ukrainian border merely fifteen days after the conflict began. This prompt response laid the foundation for what would evolve into a transformative force in the lives of thousands of displaced individuals.
USPUK's physical presence within the displaced people's centres in Krakow, Warsaw and Lviv emerged as a pivotal factor in understanding people’s complex needs arising from the war's upheaval. These centres served as catalysts of understanding, enabling our team to engage directly with the beneficiaries, to best understand their needs in regard to the UK Government’s ‘Homes for Ukraine’ scheme. The data gathered during those initial months not only shaped the foundation of our approach but also proved important to both the UK government and other charitable entities grappling with the crisis's aftermath.
At the heart of USPUK's success was the strategic decision to employ 19 Ukrainian consultants, themselves refugees. This team embodies the essence of the organisation today. By enlisting members from the community itself, USPUK was able to build trust with a wider cohort of Ukranians. This grassroots approach lent credibility to the organisation which in turn enabled the building of trusted relationships both with Ukrainian beneficiaries and other stakeholders including the UK Government.
The dual approach of a digital platform and an in-place presence allowed USPUK to connect with tens of thousands of Ukrainians irrespective of where they were located; crucial in the fluid and uncertain context of a war.
USPUK is proud of the impact it has had through collaborative partnerships with traditional resettlement and refugee charities, the UK Government and above all with Ukrainians.

What we achieved
-
Facilitating Safe Relocation: Through our dedicated efforts, USPUK has successfully facilitated the relocation of 402 families (851 individuals) to the UK, providing them with a new opportunity for a better life. Additionally, we have made arrangements for a further 377 families (847 individuals) to join them, ensuring a smoother transition for them after completing the necessary matching, visa, and travel arrangements. In addition, USPUK assisted with visas for a large number of Ukrainians under the Scottish and Welsh super sponsor mechanism of the Homes for Ukraine scheme.
-
Personalised Support Amidst Crisis: Since April 1st, 2022, our compassionate lived-experience consultants have conducted over 8000 in-person consultations at the Global Expo Modlińska and Nadajin Ptak Expo in Warsaw. These consultations have been a lifeline for displaced individuals, offering them vital support and guidance during their challenging circumstances. Our consultants' expertise has significantly simplified the visa application process, sponsor search, and transportation logistics, making a tangible difference to the lives of those seeking refuge.
-
Commitment to Help: Since November 1st, 2022, USPUK has ramped up its efforts, holding an average of 300 in-person consultations per month (slower more recently), and providing essential assistance to those in need.
-
Leveraging Digital Platforms : Our impact extends beyond physical consultations. Since April 1st, 2022, USPUK has conducted 6,764 online digital consultations, ensuring accessibility and support for Ukrainians seeking guidance remotely.
-
Engaging through Information: USPUK has answered a total of 39,630 questions about the Homes for Ukraine scheme, providing advice and guidance to approximately 70,000 people representing larger groups. This extensive support has been offered through various channels, including Telegram, Instagram, and email. We aim to provide individuals with knowledge, making their journey towards relocation smoother and better informed.
-
Engagement with Individuals: USPUK's direct interaction with 46,366 Ukrainians seeking assistance in moving to the United Kingdom reflects our widespread impact and influence in the community. Through personalised support and guidance, USPUK’s consultants have become a beacon of hope for those looking to relocate to the UK.
-
Collaborative Efforts: Our direct services have played a significant role in aiding Ukrainian citizens' relocation to the UK. We funded a dedicated resettlement partner on secondment to Citizens UK to work on matching UK homes to Ukrainians on a case-by-case basis.

In summary, USPUK's achievements have not only facilitated physical relocation but have also provided emotional support, information, and guidance to many thousands of displaced Ukrainians.
Further Impact | What else have we done?
-
The Trafalgar Square's United for Ukraine Vigil (23rd February 2023) event offered us a platform to share our journey and ideals. The invitation to participate underscores the recognition we've received from local NGOs and the UK Government. Our lived-experience team member, Anastasiia Spivak, shared her incredible story.
-
Our collaboration with Wizz Air, the Shapiro Foundation and the Steve Morgan Foundation demonstrates our ability to partner with others and harness the power of cooperation for the greater good. With our help, Wizz Air has provided over 100,000 free flights for displaced Ukrainians.
-
We have taken resettlement partners and donors to visit the displaced people's centres in Poland. This shared experience connects our stakeholders together and has also helped bolster further support for Ukraine back at home in the UK.
-
Our financial investment of over £150,000 in local Ukrainian salaries and freelance contracts has been important to some 19 consultants through a very turbulent time. It's a small step towards easing the transition for our team members, who either embrace a new life in the UK or continue to contribute from Poland/Ukraine. Our work environment is a testament to our dedication to helping people rebuild their lives, offering flexibility, a supportive atmosphere, and access to therapeutic support.
Triangulation
- Our journey has been guided by a steadfast commitment to addressing critical needs for those affected by displacement. Partnering with Citizens UK, we launched a pilot program in collaboration with the Hartford Care Group, providing five job opportunities with housing for families. This 'employment-led' approach offers independence, stability, and a sense of belonging to displaced individuals. Through triangulation, we identified the need for sustainable solutions and integration support for Ukrainians moving to the UK. We conducted outreach, recruitment, and community guide matching, supporting the visa application process and travel. As our pilot continues, we are actively exploring additional employment opportunities for displaced individuals.

Testimonials
Ukrainian Testimonials
Angelina : At 24, Angelina's life was disrupted by war. Distanced from her family in Kherson, under Russian occupation, having seen them endure 7 months of hardships. She moved to the UK in September 2023, thanks to sponsors Tim and Orian. Despite being uprooted, Angelina cherishes the UK for its language, culture, and the warm welcome she's received. She taught piano and English in Ukraine and plans to volunteer as an English teacher in England. Quote: "The most important factor was that my heart told me to choose this country, thank you USPUK"
Natalia : 59-year-old Natalia, twice displaced, fled from Donetsk and later from Mariupol to Poland.

Now living in Sussex, Natalia emphasizes adaptability as key for Ukrainian refugees in the UK. Quote: "I feel very welcomed and safe here…”
Maria : 32 year old Maria, recalls the traumatic experience of waking up to war on February 24, 2022. This was her second displacement.

Quote: "Thank you very much for this opportunity... you've been so eager to help me and thousands of other Ukrainians.”
Alina : resettled to Herefordshire: Alina, from the Donetsk region, was first sheltered in Zaporizhzhia. Through USPUK, she and her daughter found sponsors, Anne and Tim.

Partner Testimonials
Government
“ When the Prime Minister appointed me to the job of facilitating safe and speedy passage of vulnerable Ukrainian evacuees into the UK under the Homes for Ukraine Scheme in 2022 I soon realised that we needed innovative and trusted partner organisations who could help the Government make the scheme a reality under very tight time constraints. USPUK had already started working in this area and we were pleased to work closely with them and granted the Charity "Recognised Provider" status for its work in this area. I am very grateful to USPUK for the work they have done and continue to do in this space. "

Moving Forward | What’s Next?
Ukraine:
-
As the conflict in Ukraine continues, our commitment remains resolute. Strategic collaborations, such as our robust partnership with Citizens UK, will drive our efforts to bring positive change to those in need.

Our partnership with Citizens UK has yielded good results through resettlement and triangulation. We will continue to leverage this collaboration to extend support to more Ukrainians and displaced individuals, ensuring a smoother transition to a UK life.
-
Our dedication to resettling Ukrainians through the Homes for Ukraine scheme will persist. By providing a safe haven, we aim to offer chances to rebuild lives and futures.

Afghanistan:
-
USPUK is taking on the crucial task of assisting over 10,000 Afghans currently residing in UK hotels.
-
Our focus is on forming a partnership with the Afghans themselves, using the learning we have gained through our work with Ukranians. We seek to understand the community and its needs better by working with the community and hiring lived-experience community members to work with us.
-
We have already conducted a comprehensive survey at the community level, to better understand their needs and aspirations. This inclusive approach will pave the way for meaningful support and enable culturally sensitive integration.
-
Once we've processed the survey data and derived conclusions, we will work collaboratively with the Afghan community to facilitate their integration into life in the UK.
Integration:
- For successful integration, the community plays a pivotal role. We are committed to organizing regular and impactful events that foster connections among displaced individuals. These events will provide a platform for building cross-cultural relationships, enabling vulnerable individuals to meet like-minded people with shared backgrounds and experiences.

Letter from the Chair of Trustees
The interconnecting crises of war, climate change, poverty, inequality and migration have conspired to create not only acute but chronic and seismic challenges. The particular crisis around refugees is likely to endure for generations and in that context the work that USPUK and the other charities working to alleviate the hardship of refugees is critical. That work is best and most effectively leveraged through partnership with refugees themselves, the Government, other stakeholders and like-minded refugee organisations. It is through these partnerships that USPUK will seek to deliver the best of itself.
