Request

Please can you confirm since the financial year beginning April 2022, all the services the council has provided for refugees and how much these cost, regardless of where the funding came from, e.g. internally, or via government grants/schemes for Ukrainian/Afghan/Syrian/Vulnerable refugees. This could also include funding from the Local Authority Housing Fund (LAHF) among other schemes like ARAP, ACRS, UKRS etc. 

For reference, other councils have mentioned services that includes housing, translation, education, childcare, transport, goods/services and so on.

Response

The funding was met from Govement grants for Ukranians and Afghans.
