We are committed to supporting our residents over the winter months and are working with our community and voluntary sector to provide warm spaces for residents. Hertsmere’s warm spaces will provide a free safe, welcoming place for residents to keep warm and take part in social activities.
Hertfordshire County Council have created a Community Spaces Directory, where you can find local warm spaces, register to become a warm space,and apply for funding through their grant scheme, Hertfordshire Community Foundation.
Visit Communities 1st Warm Spaces Directory.
See below for information on where and when the Community spaces are taking place.
Community Spaces - our pledge
- Every time you come to a community space you'll be welcomed by the staff and volunteers there.
- Everyone treats people, and is treated by people, with dignity and respect.
- Your space will stick to the safeguarding policies that it always uses, and it will stick to food hygiene rules too!
- If you want to share the reasons you use a space, someone will listen, but they won't tell anyone else unless you give them permission, or they must because of their safeguarding policies. If you want to ask for extra support – with benefits, health, fuel and other costs or anything else, the staff will put you in touch with the right people, with your consent.
- Every space is a non-judgemental space; whatever the reason you have for coming in, you'll be treated the same and never judged.
- Every space will have the option to participate in some activity, from more casual “coffee” hours to a service’s usual activities. If you don’t fancy this, you can always find a seat and bring something with you to do.
- Some spaces may have restrictions for food, but most will endeavour to provide food and drink, or allow you to bring your own where suitable. You'll find more information within the venue's description on the directory.
