Find a Warm Welcome Space near you
Warm and welcoming spaces offer cost of living support, as well as advice on looking after your mental health and wellbeing. You can also sign up to our cost of living advice emails to get the latest support and information.
All of our libraries across the county offer warm and welcoming spaces for everyone, and you don't need to be a library member to visit.
If you're an organisation or charity that's running a warm and welcoming space, please register your venue with the Warm Welcome Spaces Campaign so that local residents can find you.
By registering your space for free, you'll get awareness of your warm and welcoming space via the national campaign, the media, digital channels, and an online map. It will also help you to attract volunteers and connect with other venues.
You'll get the latest updates, tips, and resources via the Warm Welcome Spaces Campaign newsletter.
If you need any help, contact the Warm Welcome Campaign email info@warmwelcome.uk
