Tam M Posted August 24, 2022 Report Share Posted August 24, 2022 We recently sponsored a Ukrainian family and guests have settled in well, both are working, Tanya as an accountant, Serhii as a Car Mechanic. Their son Yehor is also starting nursery in Renfrew. They are keen now to find their own space (with 9 people and a dog in this house, it's understandable [emoji23]). The problem they are experiencing is via Housing Associations they are classed as Low Priority. For private rents agents are advising them that they can't help because they have no UK credit history. So they are a bit stuck at the minute. Does anyone know of anyone (ideally in the Renfrew area with Yehor starting nursery), who has a flat available they could rent privately from them? Hoping the power of SMFC does its magic. Sent from my SM-G986B using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 24, 2022 Report Share Posted August 24, 2022 Tam, Have you tried contacting local churches in the area? They have a good source of helpful people who may have contacts? I assume you have posted on St Mirren Facebook and Twitter groups . Well done on supporting these displaced people. 👏 I hope they get sorted out very soon.
