Warm Spaces Open Their Doors this Christmas This Christmas many of us will be sitting down with our families and friends to enjoy the festive season and all the food that comes with it. Sadly, however, some people don’t have a warm place to go or a hot meal to enjoy which is why initiatives like Warm Welcome are so vital. The ChurchWorks Commission, which set up the initiative with several key partners, believes everyone should have a warm and welcoming space to go to this winter and is supporting community organisations, churches, libraries etc across the UK to open their doors to provide exactly that. Over 3,000 organisations from across the UK have signed up to the scheme and will be providing warm and welcoming spaces for the public this winter. You can find Lincolnshire-based spaces, including many churches, listed below or visit www.warmwelcome.uk to find out more.
