A few things to celebrate 🥳
- Refugee Week 🧡 - Have you had a chance to get out and attend a Refugee Week event? If not, it’s not too late - check out all the events happening in your local area on the Refugee Week website.
- Liverpools’s 4th Birthday - tomorrow (19th June) it will have been 4 years since Liverpool relaunched their meals (following their pause over the pandemic)! Please join us as we say a big Happy Birthday to Liverpool and thank our leaders - both new and longstanding - for helping keep the magic going there 🥰
- Nick is taking on a 170 mile bike ride for Local Welcome today 🚴 - Our Chair Nick Gretton is taking on the 170 mile ‘Way of the Roses’ to raise funds for Local Welcome! Here’s the link to his fundraiser - please feel welcome to share it around.
Save the date for our upcoming Reflective Practice Session 🧠
Our next Reflective Practice Session will be held on Wed 1 July from 5:30-6:15pm via our usual leader check-in link. (Please note that we’ve changed the date since our last session)
We offer these quarterly Reflective Practice Sessions to our leaders as 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
Please note - these sessions are not compulsory, but we would love to see as many of you benefit from them as possible!
💌 Reminder: Please RSVP to Grow the Welcome
