As temperatures start to drop, please be aware that there is a network of Warm Spaces across the district where anyone can go, for free, to keep warm.  The Warm Spaces include libraries, museums, community centres, churches and other venues. Pop in, warm up, enjoy a free hot drink and have a chat.

What is a Warm Space?

Warm Spaces are places where people can gather for free in a safe, friendly place and maybe enjoy some refreshments and some company. They work alongside voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations to provide Warm Spaces throughout the district. These include libraries, community centres, church halls, sports clubs and other venues that are open to anyone struggling with the rise in the cost of living. Warm Spaces are totally free to use and are open to everyone.

Some venues offer hot drinks, activities and other services such as free wi-fi. Warm Spaces are safe, friendly, neutral places where you can comfortably spend time reading, studying or chatting with others.
