Horrified by the war in Ukraine, Rosalind Wilkinson felt the urge to help those who found refuge in the UK as millions were forced to flee their home country following the invasion of Russia. The 56-year-old applied for The Homes for Ukraine scheme shortly after it was launched by the government in March to host a family.
