(Some of) What we did this week…

Help us celebrate 2024 🎉

Taking inspiration from Spotify, we’d like to share our own ‘Local Welcome Wrapped’ post on social media to celebrate an amazing year of meals in 2024! We'd LOVE your input on this social media post, therefore, we're interested in finding out:

  1. What's the best recipe that you've made in 2024 at a Local Welcome meal? This can include anything in the recipe catalogue, including recipes submitted by leaders.
  2. What's your favourite memory at a Local Welcome meal in 2024?

Please can you think about your responses over the weekend, and send them to us via WhatsApp by Monday at 9am? We're excited to hear your answers! ☺️

Updates from our National Leader WhatsApp Group Chat

We announced our new National Leader Whatsapp Group Chat in an October edition of the weeknotes.

We’ve been delighted to see some first examples of action in there already! A Derby leader recently shared a template letter they’d written to appeal to House of Lords members for their support on a proposed bill, which calls for an extension on the time for the withdrawal of asylum support to newly recognised refugees.

Fancy taking part? We’ll include an invitation link to the chat in our message sharing this issue of the weeknotes 😊

We’re looking for a lived experience Trustee

We’re seeking applications to join our board of trustees from individuals with lived experience of being an asylum seeker or refugee! If you know someone who might be a good fit, please read more about this role by clicking on the arrow below:
