What is a Northumberland Warm Space?

Warm Spaces are places where people can come together in a warm, safe, welcoming place and maybe enjoy a hot drink, a sit down and have a chat with others.

Voluntary groups, community organisations and others from communities have come together to establish a network of warm spaces this winter. This includes, but is not limited to, community centres, church halls, libraries and community hubs. They are free to visit and they promise a warm welcome when you arrive.

Some places may offer a hot drink, activities and other things like free access computers and Wi-Fi.  You can spend time quietly or meet other people in your community for a chat.  Each warm space is different and may not be open every day. Northumberland Communities Together is working with all community partners to try and offer as many warm spaces as they can.

This interactive map will show you where you can find a warm space near you. Click on the map and then visit the dot/s which represent the warm spaces in your area. You will see the name and location of the warm space. If there is a link to the Frontline app this will take you to more detail about the warm space. Please note not all spaces will be open every day and are subject to change.
