Winter Warm Spaces reminder

08 Jan 2025 ARCHIVED (over 3 months old) - view latest news

With the current cold snap, the County Council is reminding residents that a network of community spaces are open across Northumberland so people can come together in a warm, safe and welcoming environment during 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: “These warm spaces are invaluable for some residents - they're a place to meet others or simply spend some time quietly in a warm and welcoming environment.

"With the current spell of very cold weather it's important we remind people of the support available.

"I want to thank all those volunteers and community organisations and our staff here at the County Council for their continued dedication and support of those in our communities who need it most."

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.
