Welcome
Our mission is to support organisations to open their doors and provide a warm welcome for those struggling to heat their homes this winter.
Impact of Warm Welcome
The campaign has supported Warm Welcome spaces through offering branding, resources, webinars, a facebook group for coordinators to connect, regular email updates and a micro-grant scheme.
The campaign has also focused on telling the story of those who are using Warm Welcome spaces and has been featured on BBC News, BBC Radio 4, and The Guardian among other news outlets.

Paused for summer
We're so thankful for the 4,200 spaces that have been live on our map over the winter. Over the summer months, we're pausing Warm Welcome. Head to 'Continuing Through Summer' if you are a Warm Welcome space coordinator who would like to continue to support your community.
Our map, and the Warm Welcome campaign, will return in Autumn 2023

The Warm Welcome Campaign is the community response to the crisis.
We are determined to equip and support thousands of free, warm, and welcoming spaces in communities across the UK. Working with churches and other faith groups, civil society organisations, businesses and Local Authorities, we want to make sure that nobody is left to suffer on their own this winter.
Each warm welcome space will be:
Free
Warm Welcome spaces will be free to enter.
Warm
Warm Welcome spaces are heated and able to provide basic refreshments such as tea/coffee.
Welcoming
Warm Welcome spaces are inclusive, non-judgmental spaces where everyone can expect a warm welcome from staff and volunteers.
Safe
Every organisation setting up a Warm Welcome space will abide by their usual safeguarding policies and hygiene rules. Organisations will make basic signposting information available to people who need further support and help.

"It has got harder and harder with gas, electric and food going up. You start noticing your money is going nowhere. I'm really frightened about this winter - I'm dreading it. When winter comes everything is going up by another 40% - that will be the end of us. I think a lot of people will be freezing to death because you're choosing between food and heating."
