This could include (but is not limited to) activities such as paying for your time to attend the meetings, paying for childcare costs to allow you to attend meetings, paying for your space to be able to afford to participate in Warm Welcome Week, running an event or having corporate volunteering in your space etc.

The Warm Welcome Campaign wants everyone in the UK to find a place of belonging and reconnection at a Warm Welcome Space near their home. We resource, connect and champion a network of more than 5,000 Warm Welcome Spaces. Our strategic ambition is to make our country full of ‘Warm Welcomes for All’.

Our values are: Being Inclusive, Collaborative and Courageous.

I confirm the information provided is accurate and that our space commits to the values of the Warm Welcome Campaign and would like to be a Warm Welcome Champion.
