Welcoming spaces open this winter

This winter, Cheshire West and Chester Council is encouraging residents to make the most of the borough’s network of Welcoming Spaces. These friendly community venues offer warmth, companionship, and practical support for everyone during the colder months.

Welcoming Spaces can be found in libraries, community centres, churches, and other local venues across Cheshire West. Each one provides a comfortable environment where residents can drop in for a cuppa, take part in activities, and even make new friends.

Visit the Warm Welcome webpage to find a space near you: Warm Welcome | Find Community Spaces Near You.

Since the initiative first launched, thousands of visits have been recorded, highlighting the essential role these spaces play in keeping communities connected.

Welcoming Spaces are open to everyone, and no appointment is needed. Whether you’re looking for company, support, or simply a warm place to spend time, there’s a space nearby ready to welcome you.
