Volunteers from charities, businesses and organisations across Northampton have come together to create warm spaces for residents who cannot afford to heat their homes this winter due to the ongoing cost of living crisis.
If you have found yourself in the difficult situation of choosing between putting food on your table or turning on the heating, please know you are not alone.
Warm spaces have been set up to enable people to get out of the cold for a little while, warm up with a hot drink and combat loneliness.
If you are in a position where you need to use a warm space and you would like to share your story, email [email protected]
