Quick links
The British Red Cross website contains a lot of guidance to help Ukrainian refugees in the UK.
The leaflets include information on universal credit – money to help you pay for food and essential things.
If you need to speak to someone, you can call the free British Red Cross support line on 0808 196 3651 (open between 10am-6pm every day).
If you need a support line interpreter, call and say: 'Can I speak to an interpreter?'.
