Warm spaces in Uttlesford
Warm spaces are places where people can gather for free in a warm, safe, welcoming place and maybe enjoy a hot drink and some company.
If you can't afford to heat your home and you need somewhere to go there are a number of places around Uttlesford where you can keep warm.
Warm spaces are free, heated, safe and friendly places where you can comfortably spend time reading, studying or chatting with others.
We are working with many of our local voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations to promote a network of warm spaces across Uttlesford this winter. These include libraries, community centres, faith centres and other places offering a warm welcome and free to use for anyone struggling to heat their home.
Some of the spaces will also offer hot drinks, activities, and other services such as free Wi-Fi.
