Welcoming Spaces

With winter approaching and, as the cost of living crisis and energy price hikes continue, a number of charities, community groups and small businesses have committed to opening up their premises as 'Welcoming Spaces' where residents can go to keep warm.

Below is a list of available 'Welcoming Spaces' that residents in High Peak can visit to keep warm this winter. The list will provide venue details, where to find more information and will be updated on a regular basis when new venues are identified and registered.

Organisations can apply for up to £1,000 towards the cost of opening up community venues or to extend their opening hours during the colder months.
