PLEASE NOTE: We love meeting in person :)

However, during the current Global Covid 19 Pandemic we will not be able to do this :(

If you would like to join us at the Welcome Club, you are still very welcome, but depending on the Government Advice relevant at the time of each of the meetings we may need to meet online instead.

Please still sign up as usual and you will be sent an email a few days before confirming how we are meeting (in person or online) and if it needs to be on line, with detail on how to join us in the virtual space!

Looking forward to meeting again in person when we can.

Welcoming newcomers to the Heart of England - The Welcome Club is a monthly, in-person meet-up for families arriving from somewhere else. Some of us have been here a while, and others have just recently arrived. You are welcome no matter how far you have travelled to make your home here, (expats or native to the UK but new to the area).

We are a group of people from all around the world who find ourselves in the area because of work (or our partner’s work).

We have created The Welcome Club to:

1) Provide a space for like-minded people to connect

2) Support newcomers to get oriented in the area

3) Share stories & build community

Come and join us to ask questions, connect and relax over an informal cup of coffee. We know what it's like to be 'out of place' and the challenges you face. Enjoy some time with others who know what it is like to arrive somewhere new.

We also welcome individuals and local businesses who might have something to offer newcomers. A kind word, a service or suggestions of ways to link with the local community are all welcome here. Children are welcome too, please come along and ask questions.

We are looking forward to meeting you!
