£3k grants available for providing a warm space

COMMUNITY groups in South Derbyshire can apply for funding to set up a “warm and welcoming space” this winter.

- 

The Warm and Welcoming Spaces aim to provide support for local people through the winter months - offering a place to meet new people, to enjoy a hot drink, get information on local services and take part in activities.

Grants of between £1,000 and £3,000 are available to support local charities, community groups or community venues to set up new warm hubs or contribute towards the costs of existing spaces.
