Warm Welcome Spaces
Warm Welcome spaces and activities in Causeway Coast and Glens over the winter months
As the cost of living continues to impact and we enter the winter months, Council is working with local partners to promote a network of warm spaces where residents can attend activities or just drop in for a cuppa and some company.
These include libraries, community centres, church halls, sports clubs and other places promising a warm welcome over the winter months.
Find a Warm Welcome Space in your area
We have created a directory of all the Warm Welcome Spaces across the district. You can search this directory (below) or
view our interactive 'Warm Welcome Spaces Map'
to find Warm Welcome Spaces near you.
The Warm Welcome Spaces directory is constantly growing. Please keep checking back to find the most convenient place for you.
Register your venue as a Warm Welcome Space
If you are an organisation offering a Warm Welcome Space already, please tell us about your facilities and services so we can add to the directory and let residents know about you. It should only take a few minutes to complete the form. As soon as you have registered we will get in touch to discuss any support that we can offer.
