Together Liverpool

Join us as we explore what being a Place of Welcome means and how it can help you take the next step in social action in your community

Court Hey Methodist Church

Social isolation has serious effects on people's mental and physical wellbeing. Feeling cut off, lonely, anxious and down can increase the risk of heart problems, high blood pressure, weakened immunity, and poor sleep. It can also make it harder to find a job, get support, and access important resources. T﻿ogether Liverpool is supporting faith and community groups to join the growing Places of Welcome network, providing neighbourhoods with places where all people feel safe to connect, belong and contribute. In this workshop we will explore how Places of Welcome are run by local community groups to provide local people with a place to go for a friendly face, a cup of tea and a conversation if and when they need it.Join us to see how you can join the network as an existing project that fits the Places of Welcome values, or how to start your own new Place of Welcome. With over 450 across the UK, each Place of Welcome is unique but all provide a place for people to connect with one another, find belonging and offer gifts and skills that interest them. Places of Welcome take place in a variety of different venues including churches, community centres, libraries, mosques, temples and other community group buildings across the UK.The session is delivered as part of the Social Isolation Community of Practice series being offered by Together Liverpool as part of the National Lottery Funded Network of Kindness project.
