Warm Spaces

The cost of living crisis in the UK is resulting in unprecedented pressures on people already struggling, and this winter thousands of people in Richmond will be forced to make tough decisions.

What we are doing to help

We want to do as much as possible to help our residents. Therefore, we are working with our local partners to provide access to a network of Warm Spaces, a group of places where Richmond residents can come together to stay warm.

Some venues will also offer hot drinks, activities and access to other services.

Directory

We have created a directory to publicise all the places available to our residents across all sectors, so that anyone who is in need knows where they can go to stay warm, enjoy a little company and some hot refreshments. It will also enable us to map Warm Spaces across the borough to ensure there is a good spread and identify any gaps.
