Warm and welcoming spaces


We open our community centres as warm and welcoming spaces every winter.

You can use the centres’ communal spaces to work, enjoy time with friends, or stay warm.

Other local warm and welcoming spaces

Local voluntary and community organisations are also offering spaces to gather.

We have listed some below, but it’s not a complete list. The Warm Welcome website has details of more. You can also visit your local community or faith space to find out what they are offering.
