About this event

  • Event lasts 1 hour

We're going around Ireland to celebrate how local communities are supporting Ukrainians, recognise those hosting in their homes, promote community welcome and make sure everyone feels supported in their hosting journey.


In collaboration with Donegal County Council, we're bringing together anyone who is currently hosting or considering signing up to host and supporting Ukrainians in the community.


Join us for an interactive evening aimed at empowering hosts and their Ukrainian guests with the support, information and local resources they need for a successful and sustainable hosting experience.


It will be a chance to meet others that are currently hosting and supporting Ukrainians in your community and share experiences. During the event, you'll get a chance to:

  • Hear what we've learned after 2 years of hosting.
  • Get support for you or your guest(s) at any stage of the hosting journey - from moving in to moving on!
  • If you're considering becoming a host, find out how it all works and get your questions answered.
  • Discover how you can get involved in the community response to supporting displaced Ukrainians.


WHO IS THIS EVENT FOR

Families and individuals who are currently hosting Ukrainians, anyone who is considering hosting, as well as guests and anyone who is interested to know about the programme are all welcome to attend.

NOTE: This event is in English and is specifically aimed at supporting people currently hosting or interested in hosting.

Helping Irish Hosts arose in direct response to the Ukraine crisis, to empower and support individuals and communities in Ireland to host displaced Ukrainians in their homes, safely and sustainably. We’ve facilitated matches for over 2,000 Ukrainians in more than 1,000 homes, created a vibrant, trusted support network for hosts and present a strong voice in advocacy for hosts at all levels. We are hosts, helping hosts.


The Host Roadshow series is supported by The One Foundation, The Community Foundation, The Shapiro Foundation, Choose Love, The Irish Red Cross and the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth.
