Ramadan Mubarak ☪️ Happy Lent 🥞 & Happy Lunar New Year 🧧

(Some of) What we did this week…

• Debriefed Manchester’s launch meal on Saturday and continued to prepare for your March meals 🍲
• Celebrated a dazzling 546 hours of social contact generated this month by your 9 x meals! That’s 546 hours of connection which might have otherwise been spent alone 🎉
• Continued work to improve our risk management as an organisation (see more below) ⬇️

We’re booking in safety refreshers!

We’ll be in touch next week to invite you to join us for safety refreshers. These will be held online group-by-group with your fellow leaders, and our hope is to find a time which works for as many of you as possible to join these. We’ll follow up with more details on what to expect as we start contacting you to book them in.

Quote of the week 💬

“The welcoming atmosphere, the pleasure some of the women who were living in hotels got out of being able to cook, the mixture of nationalities and cultures, the 'being together' of everyone and, of course, the food!” - Manchester
