Bodmin Town Council is spearheading a Warm Spaces Project, bringing together other organisations, community groups and businesses in the town to help people who may struggle with rising fuel and food costs this winter.
The plan is to offer warm and welcoming spaces where people can come and get a hot drink, read, play games or get help or advice for their individual circumstances.
Already the level of support and generosity has been outstanding, and the hope is that many more offers may come forward.
Small grants of £50 to £500 will help organisations offer a Warm Space. There will also be a full support package including signage, media packs, a signposting directory and membership to a communication group where information can be shared quickly and effectively, and a list of participating services and venues can be collated.
More information is available at info@bodmin.gov.uk or from 01208 76616.
