Warm Spaces

Response to the energy crisis this winter

If you live in the UK and you’re responsible for paying household bills, you’ll be aware that energy bills are skyrocketing. People’s gas and electric bills are doubling and tripling, with more price hikes on the horizon. As is always the case, this will affect people on the lowest incomes the most. Some people will have no choice but to be cold this winter.

Many community groups, including churches across the Southwest, have started making plans to offer ‘warm spaces’ this winter: places where people can come and get warm, have a free hot drink, maybe grab a snack and charge their phone. This page will keep you up to date with the lastest Warm Space incentives across the South-West of England.

Christians believe that everyone should be able to live with dignity, knowing their intrinsic worth and value. Poverty contradicts the will of God, and robs people of their dignity, sense of worth and value. Please share any of the Warm Space incentives on this page with people in need this winter, and please share with us any Warm Space incentives within the South-West by emailing enews@pemd.org.uk.
