The fresh call is supported by a new series of films sharing the personal experiences of three Ukrainian women now living in the town.
The videos, produced by Swindon-based Create Studios, follow Maryna, Nataliia and Anastasia as they rebuild their lives after fleeing war in Ukraine.
Each arrived in different circumstances. All were met by local households who offered a spare room and practical support at a time of crisis.
Maryna left after attacks near her home made daily life impossible. Nataliia sought stability for her family after months of uncertainty. Anastasia came determined to start again and rebuild her career in a new country.
While their journeys began in conflict, the films focus on resilience and integration in Swindon. They show how hosting can help with everything from enrolling children in school to finding employment and settling into daily routines.
Since the war began, 555 Ukrainians have been welcomed across the borough. The council says that reflects hundreds of hosting arrangements and significant community involvement.
However, officials say the demand for hosts remains.
Local volunteers, faith groups, businesses and residents mobilised rapidly when the invasion began. Swindon Welcomes Ukraine has worked alongside the council to match guests with hosts and coordinate support.
The response attracted national attention, with parts of the press describing Swindon as “the most welcoming town in the UK for Ukrainians”.
The council has also confirmed discussions are taking place about potentially twinning Swindon with a Ukrainian town. If progressed, this would formalise longer-term cultural and civic links.
Under the Homes for Ukraine scheme, residents with suitable accommodation can host individuals or families, usually for an initial six-month period. Financial support of £350 per month is available to hosts.
Councillor Janine Howarth, Cabinet Member for Housing, said:
“Over the past four years, Swindon has shown remarkable generosity by welcoming 555 Ukrainians across the Borough. But the need hasn’t gone away.
Hosting families changes lives by offering safety, dignity and hope to people who have lost so much. If you have the space, please consider helping by becoming a host. Together, we can continue to make a real and lasting difference.”
The campaign aims to highlight the human stories behind the statistics and encourage more households to consider offering accommodation.
With the conflict ongoing, the council says continued community support will be key to helping families remain safe and rebuild their futures in Swindon.
