(Some of) What we did this week…
- Supported our groups in preparing for meals in Cardiff, Derby, Liverpool, Leicester and Birmingham this weekend! Derby is going to be taking part in a music-making workshop facilitated by Hear Me Out as part of our National Lottery Heritage Fund project - we can’t wait to ‘hear’ how it goes! 🪇
- We sent out an impact survey to everyone on our mailing list who receives invitations to book onto meals. The survey has 3 sections: about them, their experience, and their group. We hope the results will help us to learn more about Local Welcome’s impact! If you’re attending a meal this weekend, please could you help remind everyone to fill it out? 💜 Link here: https://forms.gle/cjTG1J7faCBvLAew5

- Andrew caught up on some regular finance tasks 📊
- Rhiannon started working on some new funding applications 💰
📢 Update on free Trauma Informed Training for Leaders!
As you probably know already, we’re offering free (optional) online trauma informed training sessions facilitated by the wonderful team at YMCA Leicestershire (sponsored by The National Lottery Heritage Fund).
