Look on the Warm Welcome website for warm and welcoming spaces near you.

Warm Welcome is a national initiative that helps organisations open their doors and provide a welcoming warm space for those struggling to heat their homes this winter.

You can use their map to find a warm and welcoming space near you. Either include the area or a local postcode to help you to find warm spaces near you.

The library network across Hampshire are offering warm welcoming spaces for anyone needing a place to spend some time, connect with others, or to work or study. All libraries in Hampshire are Libraries of Sanctuary.
