An update on ADHD Together.
Published on: 11 Feb 2022We’ve decided to stop running our weekly online groups, so we can focus on relaunching our community meals.ADHD Together is a service run by Local Welcome (Reg. charity no: 1180770).We launched ADHD Together in November 2020 as the pandemic entered its second phase in the UK and after our Local Welcome meals had been on pause since February 2020.Our meals were a fun and easy way for communities to cook and eat together, particularly for people who wanted to help refugees and didn’t know how.In January 2020 there were 8 thriving groups in towns and cities across the UK with hundreds attending meals each week.We started our meals to ask a question. Can a small team, safely and sustainably bring together thousands of people, in small diverse groups, to feel less alone and start making sense of the world together.As we restart our meals, we think this question is more important than ever. We think our meals are needed now more than ever, not just with refugees, but also isolated older people, vulnerable families and young people, and hopefully, with your help, our meals might even be a way we could keep supporting folks with ADHD, together.We’re sad that we won’t be continuing our ADHD Together groups. But, we’d love you to come along with us into this next chapter.If any of the work we’re doing with our meals speaks to you, please sign up to our Local Welcome newsletter so we can keep you in the loop when we open a group near you.Wishing you all the best on your ADHD journey,Ben, Celia, AndrewADHD Together (Local Welcome)
