A webinar will be held online next week to provide information and advice to households hosting Ukrainian refugees and households considering becoming a host.

This webinar, organised by the Kerry Community Response Forum, will allow participants to find out more about the services and supports available in Kerry to help Ukrainian refugees arriving into Ireland to integrate into our community.

The event will be addressed by a number of agencies working with refugees including the HSE, Tralee International Resource Centre, Kerry Immigrant Support Centre, the Department of Social Protection, North East and West Kerry Development and the South Kerry Development Partnership.

The online webinar will take place on Tuesday (May 17 ) at 7pm. Registration in advance is necessary via the homepage of the Kerry County Council website, www.kerrycoco.ie.
