BANES Warm Spaces Directory - Providing spaces with respect, dignity and warmth
Rhiannon Champion
Tuesday 18 October 2022
The new 'Warm Welcome' package will see council libraries offering information, and signposting local resources, for those struggling with soaring energy bills.
Libraries will host 'Hublets' - accessible computer tablets for residents to access council services from the library, as well as curating an online map and directory of local organisations that can offer help and support.
Warm spaces will be public spaces within the community, open to all residents, and identifiable via an interactive map so that residents can find their closest and most suitable Warm Space.
The Warm Spaces initiative is being supported by the council and its partners in the Community Wellbeing Hub. The Community Wellbeing Hub has responded to the cost of living crisis by stepping up its help with money matters, bills, benefits, energy costs, food, housing, mental health support, jobs and skills, support for carers and other services.
