A Warm Welcome for Anyone In Need
Warm Spaces Project
The winter period can be an incredibly difficult time for older people facing rising costs to electricity and heating costs.
This has led to people taking extreme measures to save energy: leaving their home during the day to avoid heating it, heating only a single room, or even switching off utilities all together.
South Gloucestershire Council, Charities and community groups have stepped up to support people through this hard, expensive winter.
