Over 120 Ukrainian Refugees Now Staying In Harborough District

Over 120 refugees who have fled the war in Ukraine are now staying with families across Harborough and more are set to arrive soon.

122 adults and children have arrived in the District since the conflict began, with a further 81 due to travel here within the next few weeks, after being matched with households.

Latest government figures show more families in the Harborough area, than in any other part of Leicestershire, have signed up to the government’s Homes for Ukraine Scheme.

Support is also being offered to the new arrivals by councils and community groups.
