Winter Resilience - Discover Warm Spaces This Winter
In response to the colder months, various spaces across Enfield have transformed into welcoming 'Warm Spaces'. They are offering a cosy refuge for those needing to escape the cold or who don't have sufficient heating in their homes.
Various leisure centres, libraries and community spaces across Enfield are participating in the Warm Welcome initiative. From churches to recreational centres, these spaces are open to everyone seeking warmth and community. Find a warm space near you by visiting Warm Welcome.
