Ashington Town Council has set aside a budget to enable grants to be given to groups and voluntary organisations, who would like to be able to open their doors as a ‘Warm Hub’. Or those who are already doing so, but would like to extend their offer. Funding could contribute towards room costs, transport, activities, or to providing food and drinks. The Council is open to discussing what you would like to offer and how we could help. The aim is to facilitate a good network of hubs across Ashington.
