(Some of) What we did this week…

👋 Please share this link with anyone who could be a Lived Experience Advocates Group member!

As you know, we’ve been working towards launching a Lived Experience Advocates Group to represent members of Local Welcome who are refugees and people seeking sanctuary across the UK.

The role description is now published here: https://www.localwelcome.org/lived-experience-advocates-group

Could you be a good fit for this role? Or, do any members with lived experience at your group come to mind? Please share the link with anyone who comes to mind, or have a think in advance of your September meals about who you could show it to!

🎉 Book a ticket for our 10th Birthday Livestream!

Local Welcome will have existed for a whole decade in September, and we have exciting plans to mark our 10th year! Everything will be kicked off on Wednesday 24th September at 5:30pm as we host a 1 hour livestream event, and celebrate our birthday in style with all of you! Expect plenty of:

  1. Time to reflect, look back over the last 10 years, and reminisce together
  2. Moments of shared celebration and remote connection as our UK-wide Local Welcome community comes together to watch
  3. Juicy details on our exciting plans to make our 10th year our biggest and best one yet!
