As the colder months approach, we know how important it is to have a warm, safe space to turn to when heating costs climb.
What are Warm Rooms?
Warm Rooms are community spaces that open their doors throughout the winter months to provide warmth, company, and often free refreshments. They are designed to support those who may be struggling with heating bills or feeling isolated during the winter. Everyone is welcome – no questions asked.
