This scheme aims to fund ‘Warm Welcomes’, which are to provide somewhere safe, warm and welcoming for people who may be struggling to meet the cost of living, socialise and connect with others and access additional information, advice and support from local partners. The Warm Welcomes seek to be warm not just in the temperature of the room, but also the spirit behind it. East Suffolk Council would ideally like to hear from groups and organisations capable of operating a venue for at least eight hours a week, offering something additional to their community this winter, such as support around the cost of living and inequalities, access to free or reduced-cost food, activities to reduce social isolation, improved wellbeing and a warm community welcome.
