(Some of) What we did this week…
- Continued preparing for all your December meals, including Newham’s first meal! Do you know anyone London-based? Send them this link to invite them to book on! 🥗
- Made all the final adjustments to our Digital Cookbook! It will be released tomorrow (Friday) - so keep an eye on your inboxes! All signed up members & supporters will be receiving a copy for free, and there will also be an option to purchase a copy of the cookbook for a loved one in exchange for a one-off donation 🎁
- Prepared to send out your leader cards - if you haven’t already, please organise for one leader in your group to receive the leader cards, and direct message us the best postal address ✉️
🧠 Reminder: Book onto our next Reflective Practice Session!
Our next quarterly 50 min reflective practice session is on Wednesday 10th December at 5:30pm 💜 (For those who attended the last session - please note we’ve moved this back a week!)
These sessions are an opportunity to:
- Pause and check in with yourself, and other leaders
- Share, reflect and have your experiences of being a leader listened to, whilst in a supportive space with peers
- Discuss and exchange potential solutions to try out, which you can reflect and feed back on at the next session
Attendance is not compulsory, but we’d love to see as many of you benefit from them as possible! You can book yourself a spot here: https://calendly.com/localwelcome/local-welcome-reflective-practice-session
(Some of) What we’re doing next week…
- Preparing for a busy weekend of 8 x December meals, and continuing to supporting our Leeds and Manchester groups towards first meals in the new year 🍲
- Researching new funding opportunities and submitting more applications 💰
- Reviewing the feedback and results from our digital cookbook launch, and taking stock of what we’ve learnt during the process of designing, developing and releasing it 📖
Photo of the week
One of our groups (find out who from the cookbook 👀) chose one of our very first recipes for the cookbook - Potato Rostis! Here’s a photo of them being prepared during a meal some time around 2017/18 💜
