These warm spaces are part of a broader community effort to ensure no one in Street and Glastonbury is left struggling this winter. Residents are encouraged to visit and make use of these facilities, which provide a place to stay warm, connect with others, and access local services​.

If you are a local business looking to set up a warm space, the space must be a publically accessible location (not a private home). It could be a coffee shop, an unfilled spot in a co-working space, a pub or your weekly community centre drop-in session.

The local authority can help with guidance on setting up a warm space.
