Warm Welcomes

Below are the Warm Welcomes that have been supported to offer somewhere safe, warm and welcoming where people can come to keep warm, socialise and connect with others and access additional information, advice and support from local partners.

A Warm Welcome seeks to be warm not just in the temperature of the room, but also the spirit behind it. They have helped thousands of people over the last few years and you are very welcome to pop by! Any questions, please email Communities@eastsuffolk.gov.uk.
