Our Privacy Policy:
How we use and protect your data
27th September 2024
Why this Policy Exists
This privacy policy sets out how the Warm Welcome campaign processes and protects the personal information of our partners and Warm Welcome Spaces.
Who are we?
The Warm Welcome campaign exists to turn poverty and isolation into warmth and welcome through the power of local Spaces made by and for the community. The campaign is led by a coalition of over 50 charitable organisations who joined together in response to the worst cost of living crisis in 70 years to provide emergency support to communities struggling to pay for rising food costs and to heat their homes. The campaign is delivered by Good Faith Partnership in collaboration with their partners and the Warm Welcome Spaces. The Good Faith Partnership is a social consultancy, incorporated as a Limited Liability Partnership since July 2016 and led by Dr Russell Rook and David Barclay.
