Find a Welcoming Space near you this winter!
Welcoming spaces provide a safe, warm, supportive space to help residents through the winter months, relieving some of that pressure to heat your home.
Anybody is able to access a Welcoming Space by simply walking in. Click on your area below to find opening times for your local Welcoming Space and check in with the space your attending to see if they have any groups or activities scheduled that you can be a part of whilst you are there.
Many Welcoming Spaces offer more than just a warm community spot, so be sure to talk to your local space about what support they may have available. If you want to find out more about Welcoming Spaces you can visit our webpage.
Some of our spaces are still finalising their details, below we have listed the ones which are already open and running!
