At a time of escalated individual and community response, Lincolnshire’s significant caring contribution in supporting refugees over the years is being celebrated during Refugee Week.
People from Ukraine are now settling into homes and communities in Lincolnshire, facilitated by a range of support mechanisms put in place by local councils, agencies, and community groups.
Lincolnshire is preparing to receive its first Ukrainian evacuees after hundreds of families reached out to offer sanctuary, safety and a warm welcome under the new Homes for Ukraine programme.
As the first stages get underway today (Friday, March 18 2022) in connecting would-be hosts with Ukrainian refugees seeking sanctuary in the UK, everyone seeking to offer help and assistance is asked to be patient as more detail on the resettlement process emerges.
New infection control measures, including the fitting of sensor taps and toilet flushes will be installed in public conveniences in Caistor, Gainsborough and Market Rasen.
The Census Engagement Manager for the West Lindsey area has set himself on a mission to make sure that every resident has the support they need to complete the 2021 census.
Residents in West Lindsey will be asked to take part in a piece of history this March, with households up and down the District being asked to complete the once-in-a-decade census, to determine exactly what and who makes up our streets.
