Veolia Southwark Warm Welcome Space

Veolia's Warm Welcome Space launches on 19 January in Southwark, where Veolia delivers essential recycling and waste collection services, as well as waste treatment operations. The Warm Welcome Space is completely free and open to anyone in Southwark needing a safe, warm place or community connection. Visitors will find hot meals, career cafés, and access to Shelter’s support. With games and activities for all ages, the spaces also help to combat isolation, as well as ensuring access to essential resources and advice. The site will offer unique activities to deliver on Veolia’s responsibility as an environmental champion, so visitors can expect to take away practical and sustainable skills to support them beyond the winter sessions. In Southwark, this includes board games, CV workshops and glass painting. Southwark’s Warm Welcome Space will be held on Mondays at 43 Devon St SE15 1AL. There is no prior registration required; visitors can simply turn up on the day and be welcomed in. The local Southwark space will be held on afternoons after typical school hours between 3:30pm and 5pm to provide relief for residents of all ages with complimentary nutritious meals, a warm refuge during the coldest hours, and an inclusive after-school hub where the community can gather, connect, and exchange support.
