(Some of) What we did this week…

• Debriefed Norwich, Derby, Belfast and Liverpool’s meals last Sunday! 📝
• Final preparations for our launch meal in Leicester this Saturday! 🎉
• Continued working on next steps for our Heritage Lottery Fund project 🏰
• Andrew, Hannah and Celia attended an online Trauma Informed Environments training session, expertly led by YMCA Leicestershire! To ensure this has as much positive impact as possible, we’re going to be working with them to thread these principles into as many areas of Local Welcome as possible (e.g. at meals, the way we train and support leaders, the way we work as a team etc.) 🧠
• Did a ‘technical dress rehearsal’ for our Refugee Week Online Film Screening event on Wed 19 June at 17:45pm - please spread the word and tune in here on the day: https://www.youtube.com/@LocalWelcome/streams

(Some of) What we’re doing next week…

• Debriefing our meal in Leicester 📝
• Supporting our Birmingham leaders towards their meal on Sunday 16th 🥗
• Andrew is taking some well-earned annual leave ☀️
• Preparing to advertise some Local Welcome Trustee roles (watch this space!)

Photo of the week

Thank you for your response to our call for meal photos in our last few issues of weeknotes! We were over the moon to see so many photos come in over last weekend 😍

It was a tough decision choosing which to feature first, but we decided to go with Belfast, who we think might be making a ‘Photo of the Week’ debut! 🎉

Thank you for reading 💜

The Local Welcome Team
