Cost of Living – Welcoming Spaces
Organisations across Stoke-on-Trent are working together to set up a network of Welcoming Spaces over the autumn and winter 2022 to 2023. A Welcoming Space is a place of connection already established in the community (such as a community centre, library or place of faith), where people can meet up, socialise, and access support, relating to the cost of living. Services available at each Welcoming Space will vary but may include:
- access to support about money, welfare, and mental wellbeing
- community activities
- access to computers, free Wi-Fi and charging points
- heated space
