Update from your County Councillor, Bobby Bennett – SCC support for individuals and families fleeing conflict in Ukraine

8th April 2022 | General News

With the ongoing situation in Ukraine, we want to keep partners updated with what we are doing in Suffolk to support individuals and families fleeing the conflict, and how you can help.

This weekly bulletin provides an update on the situation in Suffolk along with updates on the work of the county council and partners within Suffolk’s Ukraine Task Group. https://www.suffolk.gov.uk/community-and-safety/communities/community-engagement/supporting-afghan-ukrainian-refugees/

Suffolk’s Ukraine Task Group includes representatives from Suffolk County Council, each of Suffolk’s districts and boroughs, its three NHS Clinical Commissioning Groups, Health Outreach, Police, Suffolk Refugee Support, Anglia Care Trust and Community Action Suffolk. This group will adapt its membership as needed to meet the needs of the evolving situation.

We are grateful for your support so far, and our regular updates will include further information on how you and your communities can get involved, as we continue to work together as a county to do all we can to help those fleeing the conflict in Ukraine.

We continue to work with and support all refugees, asylum seekers and migrants in Suffolk. 

With best wishes, on behalf of Suffolk’s Ukraine Task Group.
