People outside building with words warm welcome

Welcome to our 2024 advent calendar of kindness, warmth, wellness and community spirit! Each day until Christmas we will be sharing info on how to help one another stay safe and well.

Looking for a warm, safe place this winter?️ Warwickshire’s Warm Hubs are here to help! 

Warwickshire Rural Community Council's (WRCC) Warm Hubs are warm, safe, inclusive places where residents can expect a friendly welcome and refreshments all year round – they’re not just for winter!

People can come along on their own, or with a friend, and enjoy talking to others over a hot drink and biscuits/cake or maybe a hot meal.

They can get practical tips and advice on reducing energy costs and keeping safe and warm at home and be signposted to other support organisations as may be needed.

Funded and supported by Cadent Gas, WRCC officially endorses and certifies 30 accredited, community-led Warm Hubs in Warwickshire and Solihull which are identified by the official Warm Hub logo.

Some hubs run weekly events, some run twice weekly, and others run monthly events. WRCC are also working with Hubs to expand their range of events and activities, to help them provide more support to their communities as WRCC accredited Warm Hubs. 

Find your nearest Warm Hub and more information here:  www.wrccrural.org.uk/services/wrcc-warm-hubs 

Warwickshire Libraries also offer a warm welcome as they offer a comfortable safe environment for everyone to use and their free services will help to keep some of your costs down.

You don’t need to be a library member to visit – just pop in.

Choose to spend time reading, studying, working and using free library WiFi; tackle a jigsaw, play a board game, become absorbed in mindfulness colouring or join in free library events and activities to make friends or learn something new.  Look out for more about Warwickshire Libraries in our calendar later this month!

We’ll see you tomorrow for day 12 of our Christmas countdown calendar!
