Warm Spaces offer people somewhere warm to go in the colder months of the year – but they offer more than just warmth and have the potential to be key community hubs in the event so crisis, climatic or otherwise.
“Welcome Spaces are:
- ▪Warm: Warm Welcome Spaces are heated and offer refreshments such as tea/coffee. Come in and feel the warmth.
- ▪Welcoming: Warm Welcome Spaces are inclusive spaces where everyone can expect a warm welcome from staff and volunteers.
- ▪Free: Warm Welcome Spaces are free to enter. It’s a great place to connect with your community and make new friends.
- ▪Safe: Every Warm Welcome Space is a safe place to be. Lots of spaces can also signpost you to other local services that can support you.” (1)
