Warm Spaces in Wharfedale & Craven

What is a Warm Space?

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 and help to combat the cost of living crisis.

We are working alongside voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations to establish a network of Warm Spaces throughout the district this winter. These include libraries, community centres, church halls, sports clubs and other places promising a warm welcome to anyone struggling to heat their home.

Warm Spaces are totally free to use and will provide a warm welcome to all.

Some venues will also offer hot drinks, activities and other service such as free wi-fi. Warm spaces will be heated, safe, friendly, neutral places where you can comfortably spend time reading, studying or chatting with others.

Across Wharfedale & Craven in the Bradford & Leeds districts there are Warm Spaces available.
The network of Warm Spaces is made up of libraries, community centres, church halls, sports clubs and other places that are opening their doors to welcome in anyone struggling to heat their home.
