Warm Welcome Week, 19-25 January at Stretford Public Hall.

At Stretford Public Hall we love Warm Welcome week. It lifts us up in January and adds a bit of colour to our week. We give ‘Blue Monday’ a makeover and try to dress in warm colours and perhaps a bit of lippy (even Frankie!). We take a bit of extra time to welcome visitors and hub clients.

Like last year we have enlisted our famous volunteers to check in with locals. We call this a ‘well-being phone call’ and they happen throughout Warm Welcome week. It’s a chat with no agenda, simply one neighbour to another saying ‘Hello, how are you?’. Reports back of laughter and tears help us realise that this is something we should take time for and that’s why we love to do it.

If you know anyone that would like a phone call please get in touch with emma@stretfordpublichall.org.uk or call 0161 989 1689. We have 40 locals on the list so far and 5 volunteers and we would love to hear of anymore.
