The need for
Warm Welcome Spaces
There are 4,000+ Warm Welcome Spaces right across the UK. The difference they make to communities is remarkable; they bring connection, friendship, and human warmth, helping people feel less isolated and lonely and boosting wellbeing.
We want everyone to find a Warm Welcome Space in their local community. They are places where new friendships are forged, where guests become volunteers, where people feel valued and where communities come together to improve the lives of everyone.
Poverty
Over 14.4 million people live in poverty in the UK. The cost-of-living crisis means that too many vulnerable people fall into debt and struggle to heat their home or buy food and other day-to-day essentials.
Connection
Most Warm Welcome Space guests say that the top reasons for coming to their local space was to make friends and connect with their community.
Loneliness
7% of people living in the UK experience chronic loneliness. We all lived through the pandemic and experienced the impact of social isolation. Feeling isolated and alone can affect your physical and mental health.
Warmth
Over half of visitors would have been at home with the heating off if they had not been at a Warm Welcome Space.
