We’ve Made It Easier to List Your Activities on You’re Welcome!

At You’re Welcome, we’re always looking for ways to make things simpler and more effective for the amazing organisations who list activities on our platform.

Thanks to feedback from many of you, we’ve made some exciting updates to our website to help you save time, promote your events more easily, and reach more families. Here’s what’s new:

📍 Save Your Regular Venues
You can now pre-save up to 5 venues or locations in your account. When you create a new activity listing, just select one of your saved venues and we’ll auto-fill the address and accessibility information.

No more re-entering the same details over and over – it’s a real time-saver, especially if you run activities at regular locations!

📅 Clearer Activity Categories
There’s been a lot of confusion over whether an activity should be listed as an “Event” or a “Thing to Do”. So we’ve made it clearer:

• Upcoming Events – for one-off events or activities happening on a specific date.
• Regular Activities – for recurring sessions eg. weekly or monthly.

We hope this small change will make a big difference in helping you choose the right category every time.

🖼️ Crop Your Banner Image for a Polished Look
We want all activity listings on You’re Welcome to look professional and consistent – and now we’ve made that easier with a built-in crop tool for your banner images. Just like uploading a profile picture on social media, you can now select and crop the image area you want, and we’ll size it perfectly.

🔗 Add Your Booking Link
You’ll now see a dedicated field in every activity listing asking for a booking link or relevant webpage.

This helps households find the information they need at a glance – and it removes any confusion about how to book. We hope this boosts your sign-ups and makes things easier for everyone.

📸 Help Us Promote Your ActivitiesWe’ve added a simple checkbox asking you to give permission for You’re Welcome to use the images from your activity listings in our communications.

Why? So we can promote your sessions more widely – on social media, newsletters, and beyond – bringing more people to your activities!
