A warm welcome across Northumberland

02 Dec 2024 ARCHIVED (over 3 months old) - view latest news

A network of community spaces are now open across Northumberland so people can come together in a warm, safe and welcoming environment throughout the winter months.  
 
Voluntary groups, community organisations and others from our communities have opened up the warm spaces in venues such as community centres, church halls, libraries and community hubs.  
 
Council Leader Glen Sanderson, said: “I want to thank all those volunteers and community organisations and our staff here at Northumberland County Council for their continued dedication and support of those in our communities who need it most.  

“These warm spaces are a place to meet others or simply spend some time quietly in a warm and welcoming environment.  
 
“It is really humbling to see people in our communities come together like this and make a difference to others – thank you.” 

Some warm spaces offer hot drinks, activities or free access computers and WiFi. They are free to visit, but each warm space is different. No matter which warm space residents visit – a warm welcome is guaranteed.  
 
Organisations offering warm spaces not already part of this network and would like to be are encouraged to get in touch.
