The United Nations says more than a million people have fled Ukraine since Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the attack last week and on Tuesday (1/3/22) , the government relaxed family visa rules and promised to open a community sponsorship scheme.

Tony Stein, chief executive of Healthcare Management Solutions (HCMS), has written to Home Secretary Priti Patel to offer several large empty facilities in East Sussex for the short-term housing of refugees fleeing the war in Ukraine.

HCMS provides management support to care companies including Sussex Healthcare which can make a total of 150 bedrooms immediately available at existing sites in Horsham and East Grinstead. These would be made available, on a not-for-profit basis, to the Home Office for temporary use by those fleeing the conflict.

In the letter Tony Stein wrote ‘ In common with the Western world, at Healthcare Management Solutions, we have been devastated by the scenes we have witnessed in Eastern Europe. We, like many others, felt we had to do something to help Ukraine and are in the unique position of having accommodation available to in support of HMG’s commitment to those seeking refuge.’

He said: “There are three empty buildings that could be put to temporary use to provide a safe haven for the mainly women and children who are fleeing Ukraine. I have written to the Government to offer their use as part of any re-settlement programme.”

“As a society we have a moral obligation to do what we can to help those who seek sanctuary in the UK and I am certain that the people of Sussex, and wider, will come together to welcome and support them.”
