Sunday Salon – Photos at an Exhibition

This exhibition in the café area of Russell Cotes Art Gallery and Museum compliments the art exhibition I featured recently. The museum has just reopened after it’s annual dust and vacuum.

  9. This prompted me to look up how many refugees from Ukraine are still living in the UK. I guessed maybe 150,000. But it is much higher. While most really want to be able to return to Ukraine, the continuation of the war there makes this unlikely.

    As of late 2025, approximately 254,580 Ukrainian refugees were estimated to be in the UK. Other data from late 2024 suggested around 217,000 Ukrainians were living in the UK following the 2022 invasion. Over 230,000 people have arrived under specific visa routes, with most residing in England. 

    Key Details

    • Arrival Numbers: By September 2025, around 230,000 people had arrived via the Ukraine Family Scheme and Ukraine Sponsorship Scheme.
    • Population Estimate: Statista 2025 data puts the figure at roughly 254,580.
    • Settlement Distribution: As of September 2025, over 130,000 sponsored arrivals were in England, while smaller numbers were in Scotland and Northern Ireland.
    • Visa Schemes: The GOV.UK site reports that as of December 2024, more than 267,000 visas had been issued under the Homes for Ukraine and family schemes. 

    Best wishes, Pete.

    1. Thanks Pete. I wonder how many thought they would still be here? We had a lovely young Ukrainian woman turn up at our writers’ group. She wrote beautifully in English. After a little while she disappeared, so I hope she got to progress in her writing career.
