The national Warm Welcome Campaign is organising a new online Bristol-wide gathering exclusively for community spaces across the city, and I’m delighted to be running these meetings on their behalf. It doesn’t matter how big or small your community space is: if you’re running one, we’d love to see you there!

​

We’ll explore different themes around running a space, share best practice and ideas, and shine the spotlight on specific organisations so they can highlight all the great things they’re doing. We’re also keen to hear your ideas on what we should cover.

​

The one thing we all have in common is that we open our doors each week to befriend and support people in our communities, free of charge. That’s a great thing to bond over! And having a collective voice will also help us achieve system changes for the people we support.

​

I know you’re all very busy so the meetings will be online and we’ll only have six in the year. The first one will be on Thursday 15th May 2024 from 1200-1300 and the theme will be community meals. Mali Evans from Feeding Bristol and Maria Perrett from Lockleaze Neighbourhood Trust will be speaking to us. Do come along!

​

If you’re able to make it, please let us know by registering via the form here. 

​

Here are the Zoom details for May 15th:
