Warm Spaces in Waverley

Warm spaces are safe, warm community spaces where residents can expect a friendly and inclusive welcome this winter. They are open to all but are particularly beneficial if you live in a hard to heat home, if you are isolated or if you are worried about your energy bills. 

Some of the warm spaces in Waverley will provide practical tips about how to keep warm for less and other financial support available to help with the rising cost of living. Some will also offer hot food/and or refreshments. Some are places where you can just drop by to sit quietly and keep warm. You will be offered a very warm welcome. 

Waverley are working in partnership with local community organisations and Surrey County Council to support warm spaces this winter.  

Surrey County Council is supporting identified Warm Welcome Venues across Surrey that also offer free energy advice and other services available.
