Gateshead Metropolitan Borough Council, GB develops network of Warm Spaces for energy-poor residents

Gateshead Metropolitan Borough Council, GB Warm Spaces

In Progress

Council officials recruit local organizations as Warm Space sites for the winter months. Residents struggling with utility bills or inconsistent heating find their nearest site on an online directory. Each Warm Space provides hot beverages, shelter from the cold, and access to support staff. Participating organizations receive grants up to £500 for their efforts. This network builds on Gateshead's commitment to a thriving community in its Health and Wellbeing Strategy.
