Places of Welcome
Places of Welcome is a network of safe places where people can connect, belong and contribute.
Wherever this sign is displayed, people will find a Place of Welcome. They're based in a variety of locations such as community centres, places of worship and libraries.
Each place follows a set of guiding principles, known as ‘the 5Ps’ for all Places of Welcome
Place: An accessible and hospitable building (open at the same time each week).
People: Open to everyone regardless of their circumstances or situation and staffed by volunteers.
Presence: A place where people actively listen to one another.
Provision: Offering free refreshments and basic local information.
Participation: Recognising that every person coming to a place of welcome will bring talents, experiences and skills that they might be willing to share locally.
