(Some of) What we did this week…

• Continued plans for our 10th year birthday celebrations and fundraiser 🎂
• Furthered work on our annual report 👩‍💻
• Met with our consultant at Cranfield Trust to kick off some work in which we hope to learn more about our current member and supporter donors, and how we might use this learning to find more, so we’re less dependent on grant funding in the future 💰

🤳 We’re giving TikTok a go!

We’ve been learning about the exciting potential TikTok has for advertising from a few charity marketing specialists recently, and have decided to give it a whirl! Our hope is that it might help us find new humans who will become members and leaders at both our current, and future groups 💜

If you’re on TikTok (or know someone who is!) we’d really appreciate some likes and follows! This will help us reach more people: https://www.tiktok.com/@localwelcome

(Some of) What we’re doing next week…

• Final preparations for your July meals 🥗
• Continuing work towards launching our new Lived Experience Advocate Group 📢
• Continuing to work on and submit funding applications 💰

Norwich’s June meal! We’ve spotted a few groups bringing seasonal foliage to the dress the tables and we’re big fans 💐 We believe Derby was the first? 🤔
