This week is Refugee Week, a time to celebrate the culture and diversity that refugees bring to our communities.

Our Refugee Week article features the national and local support for those arriving in Stoke-on-Trent to begin to recover and rebuild their lives. In this article, we focus on the support that is available to people arriving in the city fleeing the war in Ukraine.

Stoke-on-Trent has a long history of supporting those in need and welcoming people from troubled nations into our communities and since war broke out in Ukraine, the city has welcomed families fleeing the country.

Find out more about the local support for people from Ukraine on the #StokeonTrentTogether website or find local services on the Stoke-on-Trent Community Directory.
