Local Welcome meals in Birmingham

What to expect...

In a divided world, Local Welcome uses the magic of food to bring communities together.

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.

You might start cooking with strangers, but you’ll end up eating with friends.

Will this be your first meal? Find out about what to expect here.

Our membership model 💜

If this is your first ever Local Welcome meal, please book a ‘Newcomer’ ticket - your first meal is free!

If you’ve been before, check whether you’ve signed up as a Local Welcome Member and book a ‘Member’ ticket if you have.

Membership is for everyone who takes part in Local Welcome meals. Members donate what they can to help cover meal costs, keep free spaces available for those who need them, and support our financial sustainability. If you are a refugees or person seeking sanctuary your membership is always free!

If you haven’t sign up as a Local Welcome Member yet, we'd love you to join us! Find out more and sign up here.
