We are delighted to be reopening The Welcoming office on a limited basis and expanding our hybrid approach to classes and activities. This means continuing to offer our services online, while creating more opportunities to connect in person.
We are delighted to announce that three of our wonderful volunteers have won awards through Inspiring Volunteer Awards 2021. Our former Befriending Manager Life Raluy has also been commended for her work while she was with us.
We recognise that Pride month is more than a celebration. It is a time for protest and solidarity. A time for reflecting on the progress of the LGBTQIA+ rights movement and what remains to be achieved.
The Welcoming is lucky and proud to have so many volunteers. Thank you, for the 2000+ hours you offered in 2020-21. Thank you to the 58 of you who are with us now, supporting our staff and our services but above all, supporting the New Scots who are now settled here and call Edinburgh home. You are helping make Edinburgh a more welcoming place.

At The Welcoming, we are proud to present our new logo, donation system and plans for the future.
As we celebrate Black History Month 2020 at The Welcoming Association, we acknowledge and celebrate the achievements and contributions of the many Black people in Scotland and elsewhere. However, 2020 has been a challenging year for Black people all over
