Warm Welcomes

Winter grant scheme funding available for Warm Welcomes
Warm Welcomes grant scheme guidance Warm Welcomes grant scheme application form

Due to lower numbers of applications in the Framlingham, Wickham Market, Kelsale and Yoxford area and the Aldeburgh, Leiston and Saxmundham area, the Warm Welcomes scheme has now reopened for applications for these two patches only.

New deadline is 3 October, for applications and more information about the Warm Welcomes grant scheme, please email Grants@eastsuffolk.gov.uk.

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.
