Warm Spaces

Warm Spaces (also known as Warm Places and Warm Hubs) are where venues open to residents in the community to provide a warm place whilst enjoying the company of others. Many of the venues are offering refreshments, as well as a few other activities (depending on the venue) that you could join in with if you wanted. Everyone is welcome to drop-in.

 We will continue to update the list so please let us know if you are aware of a Warm Space in North East Derbyshire that isn’t listed below.
