Hello,
For many of us, August will mean that our thoughts turn to taking a break from work and enjoying our summer holidays - whether that's abroad, somewhere in the UK or simply making the most of our wonderful county.
For that reason, we're are going to take a short break from sending the newsletter. But we'll be back in early September with all the useful news, features and information that helps you, our appreciated Hosts, continue your good work.
Remember that if you need it, our website has lots of useful information on supporting our Ukrainian guests.
We hope you have a very enjoyable month ahead.
If your guest is planning on living by themselves they can now access a series of informational videos designed to ease the challenges of moving out of your home.
The webinars aim to support guests who need to access housing, employment, financial and educational opportunities but might not know how to.
The three webinars by Brighton Housing Trust (BHT) Sussex are presented in English and Ukrainian.
Please see below for the webinar links:

A hugely popular hub for Ukrainians and their host families to meet and socialise at weekends is set to reopen in Eastbourne.
Café Ukraine is set to once again provide a safe and welcoming meeting place for Ukrainians with a support provision for language lessons, housing, work, education and general advice from outside agencies.
The Café Ukraine hub is due to restart on 2 September at the Lansdowne Hotel, Eastbourne between 10.30am to 12.30pm. It will then continue on the following dates:
- 7 October
- 28 October
- 2 December
Café Ukraine Eastbourne first opened its doors on 21 May 2022 in response to the influx of refugees from Ukraine. However, it had to close in July when Our Lady of Ransom church was no longer able to offer its church hall every week after supporting the event for 14 months.
Ukrainian families and hosts from across East Sussex are being invited to a fun afternoon in Battle that aims to bring everyone together to share time, make new friends, and enable hosts to connect.
The annual BBQ at Ashburnham Place event will include activities for kids and walks in the grounds of the English country house. All Rother Voluntary Action (RVA) asks is that you bring a cake or desert.
Last year, 250 people, including hosts, Ukrainian families and their friends, attended the event. RVA fund the event through the Homes for Ukraine scheme.
The event is taking place on Sunday, 3 September between 2-5pm. For more information or to book a place email Susan at ukrainesuport@rva.com or call 07871603235.
Reach our dedicated Homes for Ukraine contact centre on ukraine@eastsussex.gov.uk or call 01273 337010.
When you get through, pick Option 1 to speak to someone in English, or Option 2 to speak to someone in Ukrainian.
This newsletter is sent to every host (sponsor) in East Sussex who is part of Homes for Ukraine to keep you updated. You can unsubscribe at any time.
We expect to send you a further update on 15 September
