Description
Powys County Council (the Council) and partners (henceforth called the Commissioner) have agreed with the Home Office that a number of refugees (henceforth called the Beneficiaries) can be accommodated in Powys.

Currently, it is anticipated that a further 3 families will be accommodated in Llandrindod by the end of March 2024 under the UKRS programme.
