West Sussex County Council News
New Public Health Childhood Immunisation campaign in West Sussex.
There has been a gradual decline in uptake of childhood immunisations nationally and this trend has been reflected in some areas of West Sussex over the past two years. The County Council is launching a new Childhood Immunisations awareness campaign which will run from 1 June to 31 August.
New host accommodation needed for refugee families.
As we rapidly approach 500 days since the start of the war in Ukraine, West Sussex County Council are appealing for a new cohort of hosts to open their doors to Ukrainian refugees.
For over a year, the West Sussex community have embraced the Homes for Ukraine scheme, providing safe and secure accommodation to thousands of guests across the county. These placements will be coming to an end for most guests, and yet, as the option to return to Ukraine is some way off, there is the need for new hosted accommodation to allow Ukrainians to fully settle into their new lives in the UK.
They are also looking to work with Landlords and Letting Agents who are interested in working with us and have properties to rent. Please contact ukrainesupport@westsussex.gov.uk for further information about both opportunities.
