This week has been a little quiet as Hannah and Rhiannon both took some time off and had a well-earned rest 🏝️

(Some of) What we did this week…

• Reviewed how we use some of the digital tools we use to operate Local Welcome, with the view of downgrading some of the plans we pay for, to save some money 💸
• Andrew and Celia planned next steps for our Heritage Lottery Fund project 📝
• Celia covered some tasks Hannah usually takes a lead on (if the social media posts this week don't look as good as usual that will be why) 🙊
• We inched even closer to launching in Leicester in June, fingers crossed for more news next week 😍

(Some of) What we’re doing next week…

• Supporting leaders in Norwich, Derby, Belfast and Liverpool in preparing for meals on Sunday 2 June 🍲
• Working towards launching our new donate-what-you-can membership model launch 👥
• Doing more prep for our Refugee Week Film Screening event on Wed 19 June at 17:45pm (Save the date if you haven't already!) 🍿

Photo of the week

We haven’t received as many meal photos as usual this month! We love seeing and sharing them, so if you have any photos which match the following criteria please send them over:

1. Don’t feature any faces - e.g. food, hands, back of heads
2. Feature faces with photo permission - e.g. when you took the photo, you asked everyone in it whether they’re happy for Local Welcome to share it publicly - like on our website, or our social media

For this week, here’s a photo (cropped to hide faces) from Liverpool’s most recent meal in their fantastic new venue 😍

Thank you for reading 💜
