Further Support for Warm Welcome Spaces This Winter
Thrive is continuing to support Birmingham Warm Welcome Spaces this winter and we would love to keep adding to the number of Warm Welcome Spaces across the city.
If you run a drop-in space people can come along to, you can register it on the Birmingham City Council website so that it is a part of the growing network in our city. Find out more here: Warm Welcome Spaces
Our team has expanded, and this means we are able to get out more and visit Warm Welcome Spaces. We are aiming to visit all of the groups in the next six months.
However, in the meantime, why not jump ahead of the groups and invite us to visit your Warm Welcome Space? You can email the team at:
Near Neighbours Supporting Women in Leadership
This autumn a group of Women Leaders from faith and community organisations are attending a series of leadership training workshops for both emerging and established practitioners, to support their leadership and project development skills.
Led by Near Neighbours, Rabiyah K Latif is the trainer for the sessions covering Leadership Skills, Project Management Skills, and Diversity & Inclusion.
The first session ‘Leadership Skills 1’ was very well received and appreciated. Nechells POD hosted us with a warm welcome creating a cheerful and friendly atmosphere. Attendees enjoyed meeting peers and networking, sharing some great feedback, “I just want to thank you for the great training that I attended... I really enjoyed the session. I’m looking forward to the others.”
Rabiyah said,
“Our Women in Leadership programme is a series of workshops that support faith and community led officers to reflect on and build core skills.
The aim is to learn, share and nourish strong practice together for emerging and established leaders.
The series is proving to be a valuable experience for us and our participants.”
Near Neighbours hope to be running some more Women in Leadership training in 2025.
