Hi all,
Am sharing the Warm Welcome impact report as I know a few of us have funded this project, via the Good Faith Foundation.
Impact Report (warmwelcome.uk)
Some info that was shared with the report;
The report highlights the amazing value of Warm Welcome Spaces, partners and funders, and all that we have achieved together, with thanks to essential funders.
This report includes many stories from Warm Welcome Spaces, guests and volunteers, as well as showing our combined impact in numbers. It shows that this winter Warm Welcome Spaces hosted 120,000 guests every week! Please do take a minute to look at our four-page ‘Year in Numbers’ spread on pages 4-7 to see a stats summary of our impact.
We are thrilled that the Rt Hon Gordon Brown has penned our Impact Report’s foreword. Gordon Brown pays tribute to the enormous impact Warm Welcome Spaces have on communities up and down the UK. Gordon Brown says:
“It is one thing for Warm Welcome to have supported a crisis response last winter. But to see the way this movement has continued and developed speaks to something much deeper and more significant– the potential that often lies latent in our communities. By harnessing this potential, Warm Welcome now has the opportunity to start to change the culture of this country, beginning to turn the tide on both poverty and isolation and connecting individuals and communities.”
I have attached a PDF copy of our Impact Report. We will share our new Warm Welcome Strategy next week and will also look forward to sharing a report narrative with you in the coming weeks that is specifically tailored to your trust's funding and the impact that has made. We would love your help in promoting our report as far and wide as possible, so we can reach new audiences and share the Warm Welcome story.
