Veolia Westminster Warm Welcome Space

Veolia's Warm Welcome Space launches on 19 January, in Westminster, where Veolia delivers recycling and waste collections/ street cleansing services/ food waste services thereby developing a circular economy of waste and energy in Westminster, delivering sustainable resource management and implementing innovative solutions to support thriving local communities. The Warm Welcome Space is completely free and open to anyone in Westminster needing a safe, warm place or community connection. Visitors will find hot meals, a career café, 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 Westminster, this includes access to housing advice, signposting to available community support services; housing, citizens advice bureau and free blood pressure checks. Westminster’s Warm Welcome Space will be held on Mondays at the Grand Junction, W2 5TF. There is no prior registration required; visitors can simply turn up on the day and be welcomed in. The local Westminster space will be held on afternoons after typical school hours between 3.30pm and 5.30pm 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.
