Year: 2024

This research explores the experiences of 13 Ukrainian women forced to flee their homes in 2022 and seek asylum in the UK. Using a social identity change approach, the research examines how the various groups established to support Ukrainians, namely the UK ‘Homes for Ukraine’ scheme and local Ukrainian support groups, shape Ukrainian experience and offer pathways to support psycho-social wellbeing. In-depth interviews were carried out with each participant in either English, Ukrainian or Russia
