“I’m delighted to be at St. John’s Church in the West End in Edinburgh to support the Warm Welcome Spaces Campaign. It’s [the Warm Welcome Campaign] trying to get to a position where 100% of the population of the UK is within a 30-minute of a Warm Welcome Space, so that there’s access to the highest quality of support for individuals. So here is Scotland, I encourage organisations to register with Warm Welcome and contribute towards making sure we provide facilities that those who face challenges in our society can access, and that we can have warm and welcoming spaces all over the country.”
