A new grant scheme aimed at helping organisations in the community to run warm spaces this winter has been launched by Lancashire County Council
All libraries in Lancashire have been designated as warm and welcome spaces where people can find a warm drink, a space to sit, free computers and Wi-Fi, charging points for digital equipment, events and activities and help from staff to find further information about what support is available.
Those organisations wishing to offer a warm space will be asked to sign up to the Lancashire Warm Spaces Charter – a set of seven core principles that every warm space should adhere to. “When an organisation signs up to the Charter, they are giving a guarantee that those who use it will be entering a safe, accessible and warm space, and treated with respect and dignity, without judgement and in confidence. The Charter also helps organisations wishing to provide warm spaces to know exactly what is expected of them.
