Warm spaces in Herefordshire
Many people across the UK are under immense pressure as the cost of living crisis grows.
Unfortunately, even with help from the Government, lots of people will have to make difficult choices about how to manage money, bills and especially heating costs.
That's why, working with our libraries and other community partners, we have created a network of warm spaces across Herefordshire. These are safe spaces available to anyone in Herefordshire, where they can go to warm up, see a friendly face and get support.
There are already many fantastic facilities providing warm spaces in Herefordshire and if this is you, we'd love to hear from you!
Please tell us about your facilities and services in this simple form. It should only take a few minutes to fill out.
