Response
1. The number of Syrian refugees that have been settled in Tunbridge Wells between 1st September 2015 and 20th December 2025.
We can’t specify by Syrian nationality, but can confirm number under the people who have arrived in the Tunbridge Wells borough under the UKRS Plus is 55 persons, which is the scheme which supported the resettlement of Syrian households in the UK.
1. The number Ukrainian refugees that have been settled in Tunbridge Wells between 1st March 2022 and 20th December 2025.
The number of persons arriving in the Homes for Ukraine scheme in the Tunbridge Wells borough is 536. We do not have any data relating to arrivals under the Ukraine Family Scheme.
These figures are totals arrivals under the resettlement schemes, as we do not have data to provide figures for a specific date period, but appears that the request for data covers the commencement of both schemes to date of request.
