Hi there!

We’re making it fun and easy to build warm, welcoming and inclusive communities.

You’ll cook and eat a meal from scratch, with other awesome people, like you - some born in your local area, some new, some seeking sanctuary, or refugees.

It’s a great way to translate your values into action, make new friends, and learn delicious healthy recipes.

We need you

We’re looking for brilliant people (like you) to help everyone feel welcome in the place they call home.

No cooking skills needed, just an appetite to learn!

Those who can’t afford to donate attend for free, and everyone else donates what they can to help us cover the costs of running meals.

Our groups meet monthly in Belfast, Birmingham, Cardiff, Derby, Leicester, Liverpool and Norwich and they’re always looking for more friendly faces to join their table! We’re also hoping groups will start meeting monthly in Hull, Leeds and Plymouth soon.

No group near you yet, but interested? No problem - just let us know when you fill out the form.

So, are you:

A leader?

  • I’m a ‘help to organise things’ type person

  • I’m up for working in a team with other leaders

  • I can commit 4-6 hours to set up, host a table, and pack up, at least once a month

  • With support and guidance from Local Welcome, I’m up for assisting our local group in building a network of supporters to fund the cost of meals

A member?

  • I’m a ‘join in and have some fun’ type person

  • I’m good in a ‘support’ role where someone else takes the lead

  • I want to attend meals as often or as little as I like
