'Overwhelming' response to Island's Homes for Ukraine Scheme, says gov't

There has been an 'overwhelming' response to the Island's Homes for Ukraine Scheme, according to the government.

Their team is currently working through registrations and will be in touch to outline the next steps, though people are reminded registration doesn't necessarily mean you'll receive guests in the future.

Both the Ukraine Family Scheme and Ukraine Sponsorship Scheme are also open for visa applications to be made.

The government has advised donating money, rather than physical items, means organisations can source relief items locally and deliver them quickly.
