With a cost of living and climate crisis, many of us are facing tough decisions. Some of us have moved to working from home following the pandemic and are facing a winter with increased energy bills. Others are facing even harder decisions about whether to heat or eat.
Warm Spaces are for anyone in need of warmth & community, they are a warm space to share with others. On this page we will share all Warm Spaces that are available in Wellingborough. Every space can offer something different. Some may offer free food; pay-it-forward schemes, advice, somewhere to charge your phone or maybe just somewhere to be comfortable and warm with no judgement.

The aim is for Warm Spaces to be free or offer low-cost options. It may be a community centre, church or library that you are free to visit. Or it could be a coffee shop where people are free to work for the price of a drink or even times of the week when you are able to stay with no obligation to pay/buy. If you have a Warm Space in Wellingborough that we haven’t shared below, please do let us know here. Please also have a look at our WOW What’s on Wellingborough calendar for lots of other services and events.
