The Welcome Dinner Project

4 months ago

Dear Welcome Dinner Project Community. Some of you may have been wondering what we’ve been up to because our social media has been quiet for a while. We are still here, more active in some States than others, but we have been putting our focus on enhancing our operations, as the continual need to source significant funding for the project was unsustainable. However, at this time of worldwide crisis, we are renewing our efforts to build our capacity as we know that Welcome Dinners will be needed more than ever once we come out the other side of this.

Our thoughts go out to those who are directly impacted by this crisis. As we navigate this moment together may we hold fast to the belief that underpins the Welcome Dinner Project: that we are indeed all interconnected and that we have more in common than we have differences.

We have some ideas brewing to help turn this time of physical distancing into a time of deep human connection, so watch this space, welcome will find a way! ... See MoreSee Less

Exciting times are ahead for the Welcome Dinner Project with news that we will be running in London 🇬🇧 and Italy 🇮🇹! Repost form @chrissyribean0.

And we're back on the 'gram for another year! Here we have a gorgeous group shot from our first event of 2018, a QLD picnic in South Bank. As part of our Local Matters involvement for the month of January, @grilldburgers very generously donated 150 buns and some share salads, as well as volunteered their time by cooking up the delicious BBQ feast. Across their 4 CBD stores in Brisbane, they also offered free chips to anyone who mentioned "The Welcome Dinner Project" during January. We are so incredibly grateful for their support this month!

🌟 MERRY CHRISTMAS! 🌟 The Welcome Dinner Project wishes you all a wonderful day with those you love within your family and community.

It has been a pleasure sharing a story a day from WDP volunteers, coordinators and participants and we hope you have enjoyed reading these uplifting experiences. For the 12th and final day, we hear from beautiful Christine, whose involvement in the WDP made her feel a sense of Welcome and community for the first time in Australia.
