Free Yate: Finding Warm Welcome Spaces

As the cost-of-living crisis continues to affect many households in Yate and surrounding areas, it's essential to know where you can turn for support. The Citizens Advice Bureau is a great place to start, ensuring you receive all the help you're entitled to.

For those seeking a warm and welcoming space to socialize and access support related to the cost of living, Welcoming Places Bristol is an excellent option. Similarly, Community Welcome Spaces in South Gloucestershire offer a friendly atmosphere and are free to use.

Renew wellbeing spaces provide a safe environment where it's okay not to be okay. St Mary's Church in Yate hosts a monthly Warm Welcome event on the second Tuesday of every month. If you're part of a community group or business, consider offering your space or activity to the public for free or providing funding and resources.

The Yate Town Council Community Projects Team has worked with local communities to identify potential venues across Yate and surrounding parishes that can offer facilities and activities through Warm Welcome. James Church in Westerleigh and Dodington Parish Council have also joined forces to make this initiative a reality.

Thanks to generous donations and volunteer support from Community Champions at Morrisons Yate, Waitrose Chipping Sodbury, and Livewest, as well as community partners at The Oasis at CSBC, Candle Community Cafe, Yate Library, Chipping Sodbury Library, and St. Mary's Church, Warm Welcome is a completely free service designed to support those affected by rising energy costs.

Yate Town Council, in partnership with organizations across the community, is proud to launch Warm Welcome – a new initiative offering warm and welcoming places for people to drop-in and use during the colder winter months. Take advantage of these fantastic resources today!
