Thank you to all of you who attended our online ****trauma informed support training sessions this week! Hannah Deignan from YMCA Leicestershire (who facilitated) will send us the slides and links she mentioned during the training, and we’ll email these over to you.
For those of you who missed it, don’t worry - you can access some of the information and material covered here in our Trauma Informed Support Toolkit:

Note: the link might say ‘no access’ but you’ll be able to open it if you’re logged into Notion on the device you’re using.
One of the many tips shared during the training was fidget toys to help soothe any busy minds of attendees during meals. Contact us if you’d like to look into purchasing some, and we’ll review whether we have budget from any grants your group might have already!
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!
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 invite members & anyone else you know who would be interested in updates from Local Welcome to sign up here: https://www.localwelcome.org/newsletter
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 these links around 💜
