Warm Welcome venues return to Surrey

Surrey County Council, district, borough and Town and Parish councils are once again working together with Surrey's faith and community groups to open a network of Warm Welcome spaces to support residents across Surrey effected by the cost-of-living and energy crisis. 

Many millions of UK residents will be affected by high energy bills, rising mortgage costs and Surrey is no different. Many of our neighbours, friends, and families will be forced to make difficult decisions on whether to heat their homes or eat three meals a day.

Warm Welcome venues are open to all residents this winter free of charge. Whether you are old or young, live alone or with your family, feel like you are struggling or just managing to get by, a Warm Welcome awaits you.

How to find Warm Welcome venues near you

There are currently over 80 Warm Welcome venues across Surrey in a variety of community spaces including community and church halls, libraries and leisure centres.

All you have to do is show up! Come inside, warm up, enjoy a hot drink and receive energy advice and much more.

Some venues will also be offering additional services such as social and creative activities, community fridges and advice cafes. A number of Warm Welcomes will distributing free items such as fuel vouchers and winter warm packs (including, socks, hats, gloves, blankets and flasks, subject to availability).
