(Some of) What we did this week…

• Debriefed our April meals & started setting up your confirmed May meals 🥗
• Spoke to potential leaders across the UK who found us via our recent social media ads - some of you will hopefully be welcoming new leaders to your teams soon! 👋
• Continued planning our celebratory 10th year in-person event later this year - we’ll be ready to share more details soon 🎈

We’re hosting a Refugees at Home information session

"Hosting breaks down barriers and helps you realise how similar everyone is."

Join us as we host Refugees at Home for an online session about hosting refugees and how you can get involved. You will have the opportunity to ask questions and get to know the ins & outs of hosting.

Refugees at Home is the UK’s largest independent hosting charity, matching refugees and people seeking asylum with people willing to open their home and help them rebuild their lives.

We are hosting this session on Wednesday 22nd April at 6pm. Find out more and book your space here: https://calendly.com/localwelcome/local-welcome-refugees-at-home
