(Some of) What we did this week…

Our social media and e-newsletter 💌

Some of you may have not come across our social media or newsletter before!

We are active on Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn and TikTok - links for these can all be found here: https://linktr.ee/Local_Welcome

We also send out a monthly newsletter which you can sign up for here: https://www.localwelcome.org/newsletter

As a small charity, generating an audience of people who support our work using paid advertising alone just isn’t possible. Therefore, any help we can get from you to spread the word is of huge value to us - whether that’s liking a post, forwarding an email, or tagging us in a photo!

These little acts of support will help us find more members, leaders and supporters who want to engage with Local Welcome’s mission. Therefore, if you have a moment during your next meal, or some time to send a message into some of your personal group chats, we’d really appreciate it if you could share the links above around 💜

Book onto our trauma informed support training 🧠

We've organised for the amazing team at YMCA Leicestershire to provide all our leaders and LEAG members with a free online ****trauma informed support training session.

You'll leave the session with an understanding of:

We've organised two of these training sessions - one on Tue 3rd Feb (5:30-7:30pm), the other on Wed 4th Feb (5:30-7:30pm) so you can choose a date which suits you best.

You can choose and book your slot here: https://calendly.com/localwelcome/local-welcome-trauma-informed-support-training?month=2026-02&date=2026-02-03

Please note, attending a session is not compulsory! But, we really recommend it - we had positive feedback from those who attended the last session we organised.

We’re looking for a social media advertising specialist 📣
